[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Bruce Spence, also in [i]Dark City[/i]. The film did have problems in pacing, but not just at the end. Most of their part of TTT was concerned with Frodo and Sam travelling to Mordor with Gollum, and finally reaching Shelob's Lair; by moving the encounter with Shelob to the middle of ROTK that left us with MORE travelling with Gollum, but with Frodo acting increasingly wimpish. It got annoying after a while. There are a few loose ends which, while it's easy to say "Oh, they'll be tied up in the Extended DVD" did detract from the film as well. No Saruman - I wonder if he'll be seen chucking the [i]Palantir[/i] out the window, I hated the idea of it just being found the way it was; no Mouth of Sauron - Aragorn's suicidal charge and the cry "For Frodo!" makes more sense if the MoS had just told them he was dead; and I'm totally clueless as to Elrond's motives: why tell Aragorn that Arwen's dying? To make him kill himself by travelling the Paths of the Dead? I know it was either Elrond or Galadriel who sent him a message in the book suggesting he use that route, but that was just useful advice; was Elrond trying to encourage him to go that way by making him think he had nothing to lose? We took my parents to see it, and towards the end I did see my wife and my mum surreptitiously taking out hankies for a little sniffle. 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
