Agent Smith just said 'whence'!

I went to see Lord of the Rings last night. I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it. Everyone made a really big deal about the Hobbit feet, but the fact of the matter is that they aren't a big deal. There are only three or four times in the movie where the Hobbit feet are incredibly noticeable, and outside of that, you hardly even see them. The movie wasn't, overall, as bad as it was described to me by Kris. I see what he means, but he really blew it out of proportion. The one thing that =really= bothered me about this movie is that in the end you're left with nothing, really. There was no ending. I have no problem with the fact that this is the first in a trilogy, but so was Star Wars, and each of those were complete movies in and of themselves. I didn't get that feeling with this film, I just felt like the end was 'To be continued....' followed by 'Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode!' It didn't feel complete, it felt like they were copping out, in a way. I just hope the next film is better. Another thing is when Lord Elrond said that the ring must cast back 'from whence it came,' all I could think was, "Agent Smith just said 'whence'!"
