Saw Return of the King last night. Enjoyed it, but one comment:

Didn’t that ork commander who led the battles of Pellenor Fields totally look like Sloth from The Goonies? I kept wondering if it was a wink-wink nudge-nudge to Sean Astin.

PS: Best fawning yet still critical and funny review, from Salon:

But every time I see [Sauron's eye] — and you see it a lot in “The Return of the King” — I get bummed out. This wobbling, ectoplasmic searchlight-thingy is the Dark Lord himself, the embodiment of evil? OK, maybe it’s scary at first, but the more you see it scouring the landscape and doing exaggerated double takes, the more it becomes, well, scary-cute, in a Tom-staring-down the-mouse-hole in-search-of-Jerry way. What’s ol’ Saur going to do with the Ring if he ever gets it back? Balance it on top of his googly, eyeball-jelly head? “Blass-st you, wretched halfling! I have no fingersss!”
