I actually liked the expanded DVD version better than the theatrical release. It's a big story and I thought Jackson did a great job, all things considered. That and I was totally smitten by the elf chicks. Although I still say that Bakshi did a better job depicting the Nazgul. Jackson had better orcs by far, but I really loved Bakshi's Nazgul. My only other complaint was the Enya soundtrack. LotR should have totally had a Led Zepplin soundtrack.
In a similar note, I found myself longing for 70's remake of Kong, the debut film of Jessica Lange, no less. Strangely, I didn't care for that film that much when it came out, but in retrospect, it was better than Jackson's version. Maybe Jackson should go back to Froogles. If Heaven in the Lovely Bones looks like elf land or the shire, I'll be sorely disappointed...
