I still can't put my finger on exactly why I love this movie, or why it affected me so much more deeply than LOTR, but I still love even after having seen it dozens and dozens of times. Possibly it's because my expectations were very low the first time I went to see it, and yet I came out of the theater just elated...or because it only took about ten seconds of HS's score to get me back to Middle-earth, even before the stunning visuals began...or maybe because of certain dwarves who shall remain nameless ...or maybe it's because there's more fun and less doom and gloom than LOTR (so far )...or maybe it's the love that is so obvious in set and costume design, or the movie's ability to take me far away...well, I could go on all day but I'll spare you that! All I can say is that I know perfectly well what the movie's faults are. I acknowledge them. But I love it anyway. Heck, I even love some of the faults. That's when you know it's the Real Thing.
"It was just a sword, beautiful in the way of a weapon, with the jewels in the hilt set in gold scrollwork, and the blade glimmering and eager, as if it would fight of itself. Weapons are named for this; some are eager fighters, some dogged, some unwilling; but all are alive."--The Hollow Hills

Awaken, fans of AUJ--and those eager for DOS! A long overdue appreciation thread has come.
