Where is all the praise?

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2003)

I saw this movie and thought "This is even better than all the Star Wars movies". It didn't let me down, it answered all the questions and neatly tied together of the details of the preceeding two movies. I thought the media would be plugging this one big time and that there would be talk of many awards. Imagine my surprise when I went to the theatre the first weekend and most of the theatre was empty. The costumes and scenes are gorgeous, the battles almost too real, the plot kept me glued to my seat. The message of duty, friendship, honor is missing in so many movies today. This one said it all. Then I visited this forum for the first time and I see why people didn't enjoy the movie...the friendship and honor was replaced with people who would rather argue than discuss the movie on its merits or shortcomings. How sad. I gave this movie a ten because it gave me everything I went to the movie to see and more.
