>Almost as if you could have watched part one and part three, and not noticed part two was missing if you hadn't read the books, which I haven't.

Geo, to a certain extent, one could say that about the second book too. It certainly was transitional. The movie struggled with it as much as the novels did IMO.

I the ROTK was the best of the 3, as I did with the book, it really is an epic.

I thought the ending scenes were probably unnecessary for the movie in that everyone I knew (who had not read the books) really didn't quite understand what it was all about. They could have just left it in the extended Version IMO.

I was dissapointed they did not film the scene at the gate of MT when Gandalph and the Lord of the Nazgul clashed after grond had broken that gate. That was one of my favorite passages in the book.

But overall.... very very good.
