[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Well the Scouring was left out (duh!) which I give my blessing. After the grand events finishing the movie, the feeling of closure, sorrow of departure and happiness at the fortune of the survivors would've been muddled and just cloven-in-two by another action sequence with some petty characters that die after a short debate. The end as it was, had a beautiful pulse which was kept unbroken, immediately from Frodo & Sam's rescue to Sam's final dialogue. As I said in my short review, the character Dernhelm was also left out, as it probably would've been hard to make Eowyn look like a man with a manly voice, not to mention confusing to some of the audience if it had succeeded. The parley with the Mouth of Sauron was missing, maybe it will be added in the Extended Edition, it's certainly possible. It was more of a "fun" thing anyway, not really critical to the scene at the Black Gate, the result was the same. The Palant�r's seductive nature wasn't adressed (as defense to Pippin), so the "treachery" of Pippin, speaking with Sauron as a result, was blamed solely on his inquisitive nature. But he was redeemed later anyway, so... But I agree with Sol, listing some anal percentage of how much Peter Jackson allegedly failed in satisfying the "purists" is unjust to the movie as a separate work. It says after all in every opening credit and end credit of the movies, "BASED ON THE BOOK BY JRR TOLKIEN". The movie trilogy held true to the mechanics and integrity within itself. Oh yes, Aragorn's "Messiah"-style wonders in the Houses of Healing were absent too. Though I think the Ext.Ed. will at least show the meeting of Faramir and Eowyn in HoH. The next time I see ROTK in the movies I will bloody well stay to after the end credits, where the trailer of the Ext.Ed. is shown. [/QB][/QUOTE]
