I concur. Despite the fact that its 4:04AM in California and I just got back from the movie playing on an Imax screen, I'm not a diehard fan, nor have I read the books. I thought it was really good though.

Unhappy

It's so sad I haven't had a chance to go watch Lord of The Rings. I had AP finals all this week.

I saw it today.

I think they changed more than a little, but less than a lot.

I have some minor qualms with the changes, but overall, I liked it.

I just saw it, and it was awesome!!!!! .. Except for the changes.... I'll only mention a few things not to give it away for those who haven't seen it yet. The whole Gondor thing... that just made me mad.... and why is Arwen in the movie at all?!?!!!

Besides the changes, the movie is excellent, the ents are awesome! I recommend seeing it even if you're the die-hard-book-reader-who-hates-alterations-from-the-story-when-made-into-a-movie-type.

I loved how they did the intro scene - really well-done transistion between the movies and not a cheap "When last we saw our heroes..." That was really nice. And Gollum... oh man did they do him great! He was kinda bleh at first, but the lil' fella grows on ya ;-)

Ok... I saw the movie last night and thought it was horrible. It was nothing like the book and the deleted a few major parts. I liked the Ents though. But they definitely did a sucky job recreating the book into the movie.

Only a couple more hours till I see it! BTW, I have never read the books, so I am seeing it from a newbie perspective. And Joseph, Brandon did all that work with the spell checker, you should use it

I couldn't stand the books, i gave them soooooo many chances and finally finished them. My friends made me go to the movie and I loved it. It was soo awesome.. Now I do not regret buying the box set.
