I never go to these epic movies the first week.

I always wait until the whackos with hobbit feet clear out.

There was a good crowd at the show I went to also. Few people dressed up, not one cell phone rang, and nobody was talking. People clapped...it was nice.

Peter Jackson did an excellent job, no question about it.

Whacko\'s? Granted, I don\'t do cos-play, but I see nothing "whacko" about them dressing up as characters they love in the book / movie.

I saw one guy and his girl dressed up as Elves. They looked the part, tall and slender and both had blond hair. But he was no Legoloas. The teenage girls would have ripped him to peices.

Anway, LIC....how\'d you like it?

Was splendid. Can\'t wait for the EE , speaking of which.

I hope the EE has the \'House of Healing\' scene. I know it was filmed.
The \'Mouth of Sauron\' was rumored to be filmed and then cut for the EE - that would be nice.
More of the "army of dead". We see them battle from a distance, but not up close. I can\'t help but feel that there was something cut there.
Speaking of which, I would of liked to seen when Aargon and his crew overtooked the Orc ships on their way to Gondor.
More Witch King. Gandalf mentions how he\'ll take care of the King and the Witch King mentions how he\'ll "break Gandalf". The trailers showed them fighting - so it\'s obvious that was cut and the whole Witch King was downplayed in the current edition of the film.
Would of been nice if they went in more depth on why Frodo and Bilbo sailed to the west and the actual meaning of "some hurts never heal".
Actual death scene if the Orc-Captain (who was played by a fellow Goonie!). They hyped him up also, even showed him dodging his death a few times, but we never actually see him die.
Re-instated footage of the fall of Saurmon. Come on, Christopher Lee had a lot to do with this project and his character was SORELY missed in this installment. I have no doubts it will be in the EE, but I see no reason for it to be cut. It left a huge hole in the movie, in my opinion.

And I fail to see where you get to define what is normal and what is abnormal.

OMG WTF!!!1111!!1

LORD OF THE RINGS WOULD BEAT SEVEN SAMURAI ALL DAY!!!!11!!1! OMG AN ELF A KING TWO FRODOS AND A MIDGET WITH AND AXE11111 LOL111 SEVEN SAMURAI WOULD GET PWNRGED BY THAT11!!1!1

BTW, why is low budget automatically better than big budget? That doesn\'t really make sense even when using pop culture elitist logic.

I\'m not really defining anything.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my having the opinion that wearing a costume to a theater is for whackos.

Just got back... Man that movie, and trilogy rocked. Probably the only DVD box set I\'ll ever buy. What a great way to start my Christmas break... That movie really was entertaining and is just humbling to think back upon...

Oh... and what is it with the audience and applauding? Does anyone think that is the gayest thing in the world? I swear the theater I was in was about to do a standing ovation when the movie ended and I was like, "YOUR CLAPPING TO LIGHTS PROJECTED ON A BIG WHITE SCREEN!"

Just kinda bothered me...

I don\'t understand it and I don\'t do it, however I can almost see why some people do it. It\'s just a gesture of apperciation . Just like people boo at bad trailers (see: Mask 2 trailer).

Either way, great trilogy. Only trilogy I can think of with no bad installments.

I don\'t think you understand, when Samwise was married everybody in the entire theater I went to started clapping, also when Aragorn was crowned. When stuff like that happens I feel as if I\'m surrounded by ignorant people. Also when everybody started laughing when Gimli said, "that still counts for one", or whatever.

Clapping people are lower on the totem pole in my life than people who dress like elves and hobbits to go see a movie..

Elves and hobbits who clap... woah... I don\'t even want to go there.

Haha... So true... I guess the people don\'t vary too much between Las Vegas and Pickerington, Ohio. You can clap for plays, or concerts, or comedians, but your showing your appreciation to people who aren\'t even actually there. All you are doing is telling the rest of the theater that you\'re a tool.

And I also hated it when they laughed at every cheesy one liner. They take the bait so easily. That Gimly thing was a perfect example, the most it got was a small smile from me, how can you laugh hysterically at that?

Only gripe about going to the movies... Oh and 3.25 for a bottle of water...
