I went with my friend to see it at the midnight showing last Wednesday, and didn't realize it was 3 hours and 42 minutes long. It cut off in the middle for 30 minutes, (which we got free tickets for), but I have to say it was my favorite. The first thing I said when it was over was, "YAY! CLOSURE!"

Yeah I agree . . , Frodo was none so weak in the books . . he was actually useful in the books insetad of a pansy . ..
Also, and I'll say it . . . Frodo and Sam in the movies are closet Homosexuals . . did you see the way they looked each other at the end of the movie? I would have swore frodo was going to kiss sam . . . And ladies . . guys don't do that!!

"Mr. Frodo do you remember what strawberries taste like"
"I dont remember what food tastes like Sam"
I loved the movie but some of the dialogue between sam and frod was a bit cheesy, lame, and at times homosexual.

Much of that dialogue came straight from the books.

Yes it did...........I think it's because at the time it was written it didnt seem "gay" or homosexual. Culture and society has changed so I think that's why it seems gay to us now.

LOL!
My friend told me this was gay: I was telling him about the movie and how good it was blah blah and about the one part where Merry gives Pippen some pipeweed before he leaves with Gandalf to go to Gondor, and Pippen keeps asking Merry if he'll see him again .......I almost cried there and my friend told me that was gay.

I don't care if they are gay, the movie was great. I give it a million stars! I just wished they showed what happened to the other people in the fellowship.

I LOVED the movie. Nearly 4 hours of film and it was all great!
I thought that some of the Merry/Pippin scenes were kinda...not homoerotic, but saying 'gay' seems derogatory..but you guys know what I mean anyway. At the end where Pippin finds Merry after the battle I totally expected them to start kissing.
The Frodo/Sam stuff wasn't like that to me simply because that's what I loved in the book- their relationship. The dialogue was pretty much lifted from the book, so I was just really into hearing the actors saying the things I love reading the most.
Favorite line: "I'm glad you're wih me Sam, here at the end of all things"
Edited because typing fast =/= accuracy in speling (haha, get it)

Just saw it last night - Christmas movie night with my brother - and LOVED IT. Although I was definitely like, WTGF?! with Frodo and Sam getting all gushy and gazing soulfully into each other's eyes. That's the director's fault - half the reason those scenes were so weird was the hazy rosy glow over their faces.
And some of the plot changes...my brother re-read the books just a couple weeks ago and he was hopping mad about some of them. Like Frodo betraying Sam and making him leave him in Mordor - he never does that in the book.
Apparently that glass ball - I forgot its name, but it's the one in which Pippin saw Sauron's eye - plays a key role at the last battle. Sauron's eye isn't distracted from Frodo and Sam just because the orcs are getting attacked (do you really think he'd care??!), but because Aragorn uses that glass ball to trick Sauron into thinking that he, Aragorn, has the ring. THAT'S why the eye whips away from Frodo.
Finally, I'd like to add one more happy little comment about Legolas, the Sexy Elf. Yum yum yum.
