i'm not trying to be offensive to the posters or personally attacking them but to me its getting kinda silly, they are entitled to their opinions but it seems a lot more users in this forum hate AUJ than like it or maybe the ones that liked the film are afraid to reply. The stone giants scene was one of my favorite parts in the film, the sequence was better done in the film than it was in the book, much more epic. If you had been around on this forum back when the three LoTR movies were coming out, you'd know there are always a group of people who spend all their energy trashing what they are unhappy with. To be honest, this all just reminds me of 10 years ago.
