Dude, I remember this from a long time ago, and without even having 6 minutes watched, I felt I needed to post here. The action scenes are WAY better than HFG, and the orc props are AWESOME!
Gotta post again when I finish.
Edit: Now I finished. And I must say EPIC, just epic. But let's go for parts. First of all, the imagery was excellent, props, scenery and camera were just great, nothing to say here. Next, the acting was overall excelent as well, there were few parts that needed polishing (the "meeting" scenes were good, but needed to look more natural). The Arathorn character was the best IMO, very deep, he was a troubled but hopeful leader, I liked his quotes a lot, and the actor was well chosen, there were parts in which you were actually looking at
HttToG. Gilraen, the character, was very interesting and deep as well, but her acting didn't do so well to match what she was
meant to be (although she was really cool to see most of the time). All the rest of the "good" characters were accurate and credible as well, giving the film a great feeling to the Dunedain rangers (aspect which the PJ trilogy lacked IMO with the Ithilien rangers) Also,
very nice to see the sons of Elrond. And as for the orcs, they were great to see as well, and when one of them - must not spoil -, was just as incredible as unexpected. The action scenes were fluid and thrilling, and ALL the "relaxed" ones were one of my favourites (I will never,
never forget the wedding scene, just too awesome).
Overall, the movie was, again, epic. Had almost everything a lotr fan would expect from an Arathorn movie (I myself didn't have great expectations for it), but it turned out to be a very great film. I recommend it a lot, folks!
