And We Come to Journey's End

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2005)

We as an audience have followed hobbits Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee out of the Shire and joined the Fellowship of the Ring. We have sat at the edge of our seats in anticipation, saying, "Don't do it Frodo!" or "Be strong Aragorn! Don't give up!" We have faithfully watched the destruction of towns, the bravery of the fellowship, and cried many tears when someone we love dies. We have become tenth members of the fellowship that set out from Rivendell to destroy a powerful ring.
After the Two Towers came out in December 2002, we have waited patiently (some of the time) for the final part of this epic trilogy to be released. We have joined fan sites, counted the days off on our calendars, and said in our nightly prayers, "And please help the Return of the King to come early."
And our patience has been rewarded. In the final action packed film of an epic saga, we watch as our heroes complete the final stretch of their journey. We cheer, we cry, and we wish that it wasn't over. We are the fans of Lord of the Rings. And I, as one of the loyalist of them all, tell you that if you haven't seen it yet, you had better, because this is a classic that will be cherished by people old and young alike.
