the greatest film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

When I saw the first film I fell in love with LOTR and quickly read the books, which were amazing. I couldn't wait for the second and third instalments in the trilogy and they didn't disappoint!
this story picks up where the two towers left off as we follow Frodo and Sam on the journey to mordor, accompanied by Andy Serkis' Gollum (who is superb).
Also you see how Aragorn journeys to try and reclaim the throne of gondor and gandalf battling to save Minas Tirith. Though not everything in the book is included Peter Jackson has done the best he possibly could and quite frankly it is unbeatable, i would argue with anyone who said this film isn't Oscar worthy and not a great epic never to be forgotten.
the special effects are amazing, the best to date, and the acting is good and emotional all round, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellan and Sean Astin give stirring performances. The battle sequences must be the best ever filmed as many a critic has said and i agree. They are mostly computer-generated but are still awesome, i loved the Mumakil (Oliphonts).
Though this is your good old good vs. evil it isn't too predictable and even the multiple endings aren't out of place. As the tag line goes 'there is no victory without loss' and as you watch the film this will become apparent. The story is in depth and you have to watch to follow the plot. The film is lengthy but how else could you fit everything in? It was done superbly and could have been six hours long and i wouldn't have cared. This must be one of the best movies ever made and i am sure many people-would agree.
