Deserves 1,000 Oscars
I saw it for the second time today. It is simply amazing, and I can't wait for the EE DVD to come out.
My favorite quote from the movie is from Gimli, and I hope that I get it right, "Certain death, little chance of success, what are we waiting for?"
I wasn't exactly looking for it, but after reading about the alleged homoeroticism between Frodo and Sam, I was ready to spot it. Sorry, but nothing really struck me as homoerotic. Then again, I'm not an expert on homoeroticism.
My pet peeves with the movie are that it was too short. Besides the way that they shortened the movie by at least a half hour by leaving the Scouring of the Shire out, they made the battle between the ghosts and Mordor's armies way too short, and too Disney-esque. Also, the battle outside the Black Gates was too short.
And I love Miranda Otto.
