Well Firegirl, then you wouldn't be surprised! Saturday isn't that far away.
I just got back from seeing it and WOW! I'm ready to go see it again and again and again.
I just loved it...
HUGE THANKS TO PETER JACKSON FOR ONE HELL OF A RIDE!!
[[]]Click to see Spoiler:
I'm seeing it tomorrow, and I seriously cannot wait. Seeing LOTR movies is like a ritual for me. I've read ROTK about 20 times, and if this movie is as good as the rest, it wont dissapoint!
I'm watching tomorrow too, and it will be so damn packed. Can't wait too !
Anyone with tickets - GET THERE EARLY!
I bought my tickets early, arrived at the theatre 45 minutes before showtime and I still got stuck in the 6th row. It was packed THEN.

I am a moderator on the message boards at lordoftherings.net. So, I am a HUGE "Ringnut"! I knew of most of the spoilers and details prior, but there were some surprises: (I don't know how to do the highlight thing--so I'll just warn, okay?)
:burn :burn SPOILER WARNING AHEAD :burn :burn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew there was going to be no "Scouring of the Shire" at the end, but I thought the harbor scene was a tad bit too long. IMHO
They did film the Houses of Healing and the scenes of Eowyn and Faramir getting together and was really shocked to not see one minute of it. (WAAAH! :bawl Those were my two favorite parts of the book! I cried!)
I have a pin with Eowyn that I wear to work. (WAL-MART) People have offered to buy it from me and I tell them that the price will go up after ROTK comes out. EOWYN TOTALLY KICKS BUTT!
The flashback of Smeagol at the beginning was absolutely AMAZING! I knew of the flashback, but I had no idea it would follow his digression into Gollum with so much detail.
The way they portrayed the dead was way cool too. I had only seen pre-vis pictures of them and it was amazing to watch them do their thing!
AWESOME! Now I have to wait for the EE to see if they put back in my scenes!
:burn :burn END OF SPOILERS :burn :burn

Worth the wait in line. There were ringwratihs, elves and hobbits in line with us! :up
I read that the Houses of the Healing scenes would be in the DVD edition. But I don't think they even filmed the scouring of the shire. :(Quote:

I truly despised Denethor from the books and thought they nailed him dead-on in the movie.
