Well, i have to say that this was a marvellously entertaining film, i held off going for a pee until my hands went numb, but i still felt a little let down.
This film is by far the most removed from the book, and i think the spirit of the film suffers for it. Having Sam leave Frodo seemed to add an unneccesary complexity to the tale, and as for Gollum trying to poison Frodo against Sam i thought it a bit pointless.
But still, the battles are incredible, almost rousing me out of my seat to shout a battle cry. But then they made it look like minas tirith was made out of Lego, and if the first 5 minutes of the siege of Minas Tirith were anything to go by, the city should have been levelled in half an hour at most.
I could rant on about the various bits of the book that were left out, but it would take some space, and if the film is still good anyway, then whats the point?
Oh, and take some tissues, there were quite a few people who were left blubbing.

Treebeard kills the Witch King actually.
Merry kills the Witchking in the books.
OK, well it's been 12 years since I last read the books but I'm SURE I remember Frodo and Sam separating, and I definitely remember Gandalf and the Witch King having a showdown...
May go and see it again tomorrow. Seeing it at least three times as I'm going with my Dad, girlfriend and mate.

Dont talk rubbish. They both entered Shelobs lair together in the book, and Gollum never went out of his way to make Frodo distrust Sam either.

What are you talking about? Frodo does leave Sam and Gollum does poison them against each other in the book.
The only thing I can think of that was different is Gandalf should have killed the Witch King, not Eowyn.
I was speechless after seeing it.

I saw it yesterday, the best one of the lot i thought!!!!! The Battle Scenes were immense. Altho the last half hour was pretty gay i just wanted it to end. it decided to do the opposite to the matrix and tie up every single loose end!! a bit draggy, but the rest of the film didn't drag at all i didn't want it to end but by the last half hour i wanted to get out as soon as poss.
