Peter Jackson did it right

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2003)

well I guess Tolkien did it right first. Other directors/filmmakers should take note. This is a reason to make a trilogy, a story arc that is told over three films. In addition to enjoying the acting, the story, and the visual, the moviegoer gets to experience a personal sense of completion; after investing part of the last three years of our lives in this series..we have personally reached the end, as have the characters in the film.
I found the picture to be very moving. And I dont really understand all the talk about multiple endings; there is only one ending..when the words THE END appear. There are a lot of stories here, and each deserves some sense of closure (including the ones that will have to wait for DVD).
We should all have a friend like Sam...in a lot of ways he was the spirit of this film, and it appropriately ended with him
