The hobbits couldn't have been gayer if Sam had rolled around on the ground with a half-dressed Frodo.... Oh wait, he DID! So very very cute, even if it continues the irritating underestimation of the power lent the defenders in siege warfare. The end was great, Arwen was cute, "Take the girl, Mr. Anderson" was somewhat in evidence, the hobbits were cute, Gimli and Legolas were precious beyond belief,... did I mention the hobbits were cute? I got my $8.25 worth for sure. I'll be rooting for it at the oscars.
