Superb movie, but...

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2004)

Like the two movies before this one I immersed myself in the story. I am one of those who do not care that the film does not exactly matches the book. This film, like the book, creates a magic of it's own and I laughed and cried with it. But, here drops the other boot, that ghastly scene at the end of the movie where the Hobbits endlessly hug and stare each other in the eyes... It created the same feeling of nausea that I experience when when, accidentally, watching a piece of a soap on T.V. As we say in Holland, "it made my toes curl". Therefore and therefore alone I rated this a 9 not a 10 like the previous 2 movies.
