I LOVE it! It's some of the best stuff I've ever heard, and the pepperings of various themes like Gondor, Rohan and The Shire is just brilliant! Really gets me in the moment and remember a portion of the movies. :D

It is very nice music - you'd probably like what Jeremey Soule did for GUild Wars if you like LoTR.

Yes, I love a lot of Film Score and Howard Shore's work is great.

My favourite themes are all the main ones: The Shire, The Balrog, Isengard, Rohan, Mordor, Shelob and Gondor. My favorite piece in the trilogy is Amon Hen with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Boromir fighting to protect the Hobbits (gets a few more fighting bits in the Extended Cut my Dad owns!).

I liked the ending theme from LOTR Part 2 onwards. I don't know why it's called Gollum's song; I didn't think he was that important a character to feature him in the end song for two of the three films.

I really like the Lord of Rings soundtracks. It is some of the best movie scores. I like how it brings emotions to you and you can feel what is happening in the movie. Plus, it really adds to the movies.

My Mum's favourite bits are The Lighting of the Beacons and The Ride of the Rohirrim (when they arrive at Minas Tirith and charge at the Orcs).

I love it. I saw a concert of it performed by the London Symphony Orchestra in London a few years ago. It was one of my favourite evenings. My favourite tracks are 'Conerning hobbits' and "Into the West' because I like Annie Lennox.

It's mainly orchestral, like a symphony, except it isn't boring, so the themes and tunes are rather catchy.

What happened in the film you saw, if you can remember?
