[Suzerain of Sheol]

I saw it when it first got released, forgot about this thread.

I'm glad to see that they got the dwarves' song right, that could have gone much worse. Their appearance... I'm not even going to comment on. It is what it is. I will just say that they don't look like they come from a single culture at all, some of them look like different species. >_>

I'm not really sure what's going on with the tender touch between Galadriel and Gandalf, but I can't believe that even Jackson and his writers would be so brazen as to do something that offensive to the lore. If they need romance for this film that badly... that is *not* where it should be forced in. That said, I'm thinking that's just in there to make us wonder if they're going to go there. I don't think they're going to be any sort of relationship between them, beyond empathy with each other as ring-bearers.

I'm really leery of the whole secondary storyline they're including. For one thing, they legally *can't* use the material on the White Council from the Book of Lost Tales as they don't have the film rights to it, and... I'll just leave it that I don't have much faith in their ability to invent the story details that are missing, based off of the additions they made to the LotR trilogy films.
