they were meant to be--and we recognize them.  </div> <bR> <div> Any negative feelings I had about the first two movies were due to changes from the book that I thought were mistakes; taken on their own merits, there's not much to fault.  <I>RotK </I>throws even those problems out the window--if a movie's ever been made that's truer to the book it's based on, I don't know what it is.  The quibbles are hardly worth mentioning (that's only in my opinion, of course). </div> <bR> <div> And if there's ever been a performance like Elijah's finally fully-realized Frodo, I've never seen it.  The only imaginable reason it didn't win every acting award this year is that it's so far above what's considered "good acting" that too many people saw it in the same light as my "EJW content" comment above.  </div> <bR> <div> <I><B> <A NAME="order_rotk"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>
