i just saw the movie a second time, let me say that it was even better the second time, I liked the movie way better than the second one (even though with the extended version, the second one redeemed itself much). I can slightly see the homosexual crap, but it really isn't something that stands out so much as to ruin the movie. PJ did an absolutely fabulous job of showing the friendship between sam and frodo, I loved it. Sean Astin deserves an oscar for his performance as sam.
The only complaint I have is that they made the general of the orc army a "white" orc. whether that was to thwart off any "racism" crap in the movies or whatever, I didn't like the fact he looks like the guy from goonies. Oh well, great movie anyways!
