you have to see this movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2004)

as a fan of both the books and the first two movies my expectations for ROTK were high, and i'm happy to say i wasn't disappointed. Peter Jackson has secured his place my list of legends, the actors were on top form and the battles and CG characters were spectacular. I was particularly impressed by Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee. He really shone in these films, reflecting his own characters journey to become the ultimate hero of the film. Viggo Mortenson is also fantastic, giving yet another stand out performance in the final installment of Jackson's masterpiece. other aspects i should mention. Legolas and Gimili's comic duo were great again, providing us with some much needed relief from the emotion and trauma of the film. also, nice to see singing in the last film, such an important aspect of the books. in particular, Billy Boyd perfectly compliments a dramatic and moving scene with a folksy song sung beautifully. i would definitely recommend seeing this film if you've been on the moon for the last six months and failed to see it yet.
