I saw it today. I loved it on the whole but I have mixed feelings about some bits of it.

I would gladly have restored Christopher Lee's 12 minutes and lost the schmaltzy goop in the last 10 minutes.

The camera work was stunning, several times I had to reach for the armrest as vertigo struck.

The beacons were amazing.

But most amazing of all, Pippin's song, whilst around him battle raged and his liege stuffed himself with squirty tomatoes.
