Visually Stunning

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2004)

I was so eager to see this third installment. This movie is an epic. The battles, the landscapes, everything is on a grand scale. The special effects are some of the best I've seen. The movie is a feast for the eyes. I was a little disappointed in the character development of Sam and Frodo. Sam spends most of the movie crying. Frodo spends most of the movie being pretty much helpless. Sam seems to be always saving Frodo. The last 20 - 30 mins of this movie are also unnecessary. It would have been better ended once the king was crowned. But this is a must see movie. There are moments when you're swept away by the sheer power of the battles. Over-all part 2 remains my favorite.
