Been there, seen it. Quietly impressed. It didn't blow me away - and even having forgotten most of the book - quasi-deliberately - a few of the changes really stuck out I thought.

In some places a little more flesh had been added on the bones to produce something visual - but other scenes were added or significant changes made. Fisticuffs in Theoden's Hall isn't the way I remember that initial encounter!

It generally made good cinema, entertained and made laugh - and I'll go and see it again. Perhaps not as quickly as Sarah and Jon who went back into a showing after a lunch break - but soon.
