Frodo and Sam and Gollum/Smeagol Non-Person: Everyone treats Smeagol* like shite. This bothers me as well, especially since he is Very Important Later. Gollum freaks me out, but Smeagol's really pathetic. I like the way they hinted that Frodo sees Smeagol as a warning of what the ring can and will do to him if he isn't careful. Sam just hates him. Sssstupid fat hobbit. But yes, they do ignore him for the most part. Nassssty tricksssy hobbitssesss. We hatessss...*sees Frodo*...never mind.
The "she" is going to be terrifying. But very, very cool. Get thee to the end of The Two Towers to find out more.
The Battle of Helm's Deep: I know nothing of military strategy. But that scene where Merry and Pippin saw a river of orcs heading towards Rohan was one of the coolest scenes ever.
Yes, on the Gimli-is-short jokes. Geez, you'd think he was a DWARF or something... Also way too much Arwen.
ENTS! Love ents! Want to ride on an ent! Would never piss off an ent! I love the scene where they clean up Isengard! I nearly got up and cheered when they pulled the dam down.
If Gollum/Smeagol gets an Oscar, I hope Andy Sirkis goes up to the podium and hisses "What hassss it got in itss envelopessssesss, precioussssss?" That would be all the proof I need that there is a god and it loves us all.
*Yes, I see a difference between Gollum and Smeagol. Gollum is the mean, hateful one that wants to kill them all and get the Precious. Smeagol is the pathetic one who wants to please Master and help them get to Mordor. It's in the book too, but I didn't see the difference until I saw the movie.
As a Tolkien Geek and the daughter of a Tolkien Geek, I don't mind the movie "straying" from the book. I think the books and movies are complementary to each other. But then, I am a kind, understanding soul who is in a distinct minority.
