Glorious!

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2003)

Ahhhh....A fitting end to a glorious trilogy of fine pieces of film. Delivers on every level! Notable are the effectively creepy roles of Gollum, and that CGI Shilob, or whatever the hell it's name is. Fantastic action sequences with stunning special effects and sound that knocks you back into your seat. A perfect resolution to the trilogy. Perfectly captures the drama, the pain, and the suffering that is experienced by Frodo and Sam as they venture closer to Mount Doom, as well as the comraderie between the remainder of the fellowship, the bravery of the Hobbits, and even the very lightly mentioned love between Aragorn and Arwen. I can't find anything wrong with this movie outside of the unexplained absence of Chris Lee as Saruman....Scores a 10 of 10 in my book!
