Enders Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hullo everyoneIt is currently 4:00am Atlantic time, and I have just gotten back from the midnight showing of the final Lord of the Rings movie, the Return of the Kings.Now, being one of the many people who finished all 3 books, I only have 2 say one thing about ROTK.Wow.Peter Jackson is god. He truly brought the epic final struggle to the big screen in a big way. Everything about this conclusion is massive. The battles, the scenery, even the personnal struggles are all fleshed out amazingly. Easily, the best part of this movie is the Battle for Minas Tirith. The masses of enemys fighting for the last great city of Gondor is awe-inspiring. This part of the movie actully feels desperate. I knew they'd come out ok, but I couldn't help but wonder "What if they do lose?"The battle is brought to new heights when the Rohan army charges fourth. Mordor responds by sending in a wave of Olophants (basically war elephants) that crash through the Rohan lines. Jackson has really raised the bar for cinematic battle scenes. The struggle continues when Frodo and Sam come to the base of Mount Doom. Aragorn and the others scrap up what little forces they have left to create a diversion. As their forces attack the Black Gates, Sauron sends all this forces to stop the attack, which pretty much emptys Mordor of Orcs, allowing Frodo and Sam a safe passage.So, overall, this is easily THE best movie of the year. It has also driven itself into my heart as my most favorite movie yet.This is a definate must see. DO NOT WAIT FOR THE VIDEO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TK421--Bane Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 How would you rate ROTK compared to The Two Towers, guys? I liked The Fellowship Of The Ring, but in my opinion TTT was way worse. I'm still having bad dreams with elves surfing on tower shields. :shock: And since we're at it, how about The Matrix? Here's what I think:M1 - was awesome! M2 - SUCKED!!! OMG it sucked!M3 - never went to see. M2 scared me off good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
