Movie Changes and DracOn1Us
Diana

DracOn1Us, despite the arrogance and greed, I still respected Boromir. He was still a big help to the Fellowship, and gave up his life for Merry and Pippin. I think there were more tears in the movie. Characters seemed to cry more often.

I saw TTT trailer in theater and on the internet. Why do we have to wait till December? I already saw quite a few changes, such as the ones you mentioned. Eowyn also doesn't really look beautiful, and Theoden looks sneaky and evil (eyes too narrow and pointy). Wormtongue is also not what I imagined. For some reason I had pictured him as half-human, half-snake, with a long forked tongue. I think there were also scenes from RotK. I saw a scene where it seemed like Merry was riding toward a castle on a Rohirrim pony with Theodon and Eomer on their horses. Then, they moved Shelob to RotK.
