I have to disagree with Victor and Kate's opinions about the lack of character development in the movie. Just one example - the was a collective gasp of anguish from the audience that I was in when Boromir was shot. Obviously, *that* audience had found a way to relate to the characters.
It must have been a terrifically hard film to make, and I think some of the action sequences went on too long - how much screen time did the cave troll get? - and one or two of the casting choices seem odd, but overall I think Jackson did an excellent job. -- ######################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/
