The greatest of the three

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2004)

After viewing this picture, I realized it was one of the best ever made. It has the greatest battle scene ever filmed, the best computer-generated character of all time (yes, better than Yoda), and some of the best performances in recent years. This is the third and final film in the Rings trilogy, and it is the best of the three. If you haven't seen the first two films, here's a summary. A hobbit (little person with hairy feet) named Frodo inherits a ring from his uncle, not knowing that if this ring falls into the wrong hands, the world will be overthrown by evil. Frodo, his best friend and gardener, Sam; two Men; a wizard; an elf; a dwarf; and two other hobbits form the Fellowship of the Ring, also the title of the first film. This fellowship is dedicated to destroying the ring in the place it was created: a far-away kingdom called Mordor, the capital of the evil menace. This menace is Sauron, who used to have a body, but, after being killed, is resurrected as a huge eye of fire, which can see Frodo every time he dons the Ring. Also, doing his dirty work is wizard Saruman. In the first film, one of the Men, Boromir, dies, the wizard, Gandalf, falls down a chasm, and the two other hobbits, Merry and Pippin, are captured. The second film, The Two Towers, picks up where the first left off, with Frodo and Sam continuing their journey to destroy the ring, and the elf, Man, and dwarf trying to find Merry and Pippin, and eventually ending up in the kingdom of Rohan, under attack by the enemy. They flee to the refuge of Helm's Deep, and become involved in the Battle of the Hornburg.
Merry and Pippin meet Treebeard, an Ent (walking, talking tree) and destroy Saruman's kingdom of Isengard. Frodo and Sam meet face-to-face with Gollum, a creature who used to be a hobbit named Smeagol, but because of his lengthy possession of the ring, was transformed into a hideous creature with split personalities. Faramir, brother of Boromir, the Man who dies in the first film, captures them. Eventually, they are released. Gollum leads the hobbits to Mordor, but eventually turns against them and says they must take another path into the kingdom, a path containing a giant, hungry spider named Shelob. Frodo and Sam eventually knock Gollum off of a cliff, and he is presumed dead. They get into Mordor, climb Mount Doom, and meet up with Gollum, still very alive and looking for revenge.
Can't tell the ending, must see it yourself!
