I'm just writing this on my impressions of the movie, since I haven't read Return of the King yet.

I said almost the exact same thing about Eowyn to my dad after we saw RotK. And I think just about everyone was bothered by the 'wait, we're not quite finished yet!' syndrome. *g*

They kept having fades like the movie was ending! If they'd just done clean cut edits, it wouldn't have been quite so annoying.

that first long black screen was too long, too jarring, throwing everyone out of the world of the whole, out of the mood, as it were.

The one at the lava field was the worst. Many people told me that they thought the movie was going to end there, with Frodo and Sam slowly baking, unrescued.

Hmm, I wonder what my response would have been had I not known of the eagles. Spoiled by canon, is that possible? I was expecting that one, so the first big black screen seemed most inrtusive. But yeah, I see what you mean, had I not known, their fatalistic dialogue would have been most distressing.

Everybody knows that things had been cut and changed in the movies, so you can't blame people for being nervous. *g*
