I know it sounds trivial, but the things that really impressed me (apart from the battles and the coronation) were the beacons being lit and the floor of Denethor's hall, which seemed exactly right and showed how careful they'd been with details.

The lighting of the beacons part was ¡FANTASTICO!
I also absolutely loved the scene where Gandalf/Mithrandir runs out of the front gate of Minas Tirith and wards of the Nazgul (you'll hafta forgive me, I donno how to make the accent marks). That was excellent.

I never really pictured the beacons or anything from the book but they were excellent!  |

The beacons were amazing! I remember reading in the reviews about how breathtaking the sequence would be, and when I was watching the very beginning of that part (with the close up of the guys lighting them) I thought, "Well that was cool," but then the music just exploded and about 50 seconds of just stunning film unrolled! |

Yep, I loved the beacons too. I think they were one of the best parts of the film for me.

Oh yes, the beacons! How could I forget? I think I forgot some other things too:
- The pyre of Denethor. I couldn't help it, but I was glad that this horrible man finally died.
- The Paths of the Dead.
- The first battle in Osgiliath.

In the Pyre of Denethor scene I only felt really sorry for Faramir, especially when he sees his father there in the fire before Denethor runs off. That must be really terrible, seeing your father burn to death, and then, I mean, he's lost all of his family now  ! All in all, I liked the book Pyre of Denethor better than the movie one...Denethor falling down the cliff thingee was just too pointless... Beside all of those that have already been mentioned, I also really liked the bit where Frodo falls over and wakes up in Lothlórien, and Galadriel helping him to get up again... I got really dizzy when they lit the beacons. Wheee! That was fun |
