I too liked the look generally of (at least) FOTR. I'll need to see the others again. This is, though, an eye-opening look. The exterior shot of Rivendell particularly is amazing to see what was done. I will say this, though: I saw the extended FOTR today for the first time, as well as seeing FOTR in widescreen for the first time, and I think the Arwen/Aragorn bridge shot is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know if you're planning to mess with that or not, and I'll still be interested in seeing it, but I do think that is one of the most effective places where it seems they may have tinkered with the look a bit. It's just wonderful. I'm interested to see where this goes.
