I loved this too.I loved a lot of the little details, including my absolute favorite: the Grond Chant. It takes a particular kind of brilliance to transform an aside spoken by the omniscient narrator into a completely cinematic moment. (What am I talking about? In the book, Tolkien mentions that the huge battering ram brought up against the gates of Minas Tirith is named Grond - it's after the mace wielded by Morgoth in the First Age, but I don't recall if that's explicitly stated there. In the movie, they roll up the huge ram - and the trolls start chanting "Grond... Grond... Grond..." It's a priceless moment - and even if you haven't read that in the book, it's still a cool-sounding evil war chant. )

Unless he's sitting on the best-kept secret in movie history (Oh God I hope he is! I really hope he is!!!), Peter Jackson didn't actually film the Scouring of the Shire.
There's a *perfectly valid* film-making excuse for this - after the cataclysmic battles of the Pelennor Fields and outside the Morannon, to have a bunch of hobbits squaring up with what is essentially a Middle Earth biker gang is a bit of a come-down. I can seee his point for a cinema audience - rather than have them going "Wow! That last fight scene was cool!", they'd be going "Wow, that last fight scene sucked!" But it would have been nice if it was going to be in the extended edition.
But it isn't!!!
