I'm off to see ROTK in an hour

[ironflange]

Are there any slow parts about two hours in so I can make a bathroom run? I don't think I can make it, especially if I get a drink. Why can't they put an intermission in?

1. Nope....

therefore vacate your bladder...and no "bladder buster" drinks
while in the theater.

2. the pace of the movie will allow

for short breaks without missing anything important.

3. I really couldn't find one...although the whole Frodo/Sam thing...

could be considered a break IMHO.

4. I saw it yesterday.

Great job, only one real complaint with the "modification."

I took my break while Frodo and Sam were following Gollum up the stairs to Shelob's lair.

5. I know the books well

It shouldn't be too hard to pick up the story, assuming it hasn't been too mucked up.

6. Only one major muck up.

IMO, anyway. There is another example of giving dialogue and a scene to the wrong character (Eowyn instead of Merry,) but it works since the relationship between Merry and Theoden isn't developed anyway.

The muck-up is with the gollum/lembas scene and the resulting confrontation between Frodo & Sam. Didn't happen, didn't need to happen, shouldn't have happened. It's somewhere in Mordor, at some point on the way to Shelob, I think.
