Different Strokes for Different Folks
Eonwe

Reading through the posts on favorite scenes in RotK, I was reminded of a similar list I saw online a couple days after the movie came out. It was a more general movie site, and there was a thread on 'Likes and Dislikes' of RotK. The funny thing is after about ten posts of 'likes', the entire movie was covered! No exagerration. With most movies, if viewers list favorite scenes, the same three or four come up over and over. Lord of the Rings? The whole thing is so good and people are so different, every scene is someone's favorite. That's also how I feel about the books. Ask ten of us which parts of the books we were most looking forward to seeing in the films, and you'll get ten different answers.

The other funny thing is almost every scene also appeared on the 'dislikes' list! No exagerration. My chin was on the floor when I saw what some people were saying about parts which blew me away. People really are different. A good thing I guess.
