There's a sag in the film! Not in this film! This is awesome. The trilogy; 'The Two Towers' doesn't match the opening movie or the climax and the best film of the decade. The Return of the King is mind blowing. Most seeing the movie know the plot as they have read Tolkein's mighty opus.
But if you have missed the news, Christopher Lee's character doesn't appear. No Saruman. Make sense of it! And Saruman's death at the hands or "wraps" of the worm in the book.
Battle of Pelennor Fields is a masterwork. Far better than the battle scenes in Russel Crowe's 'Robin Hood' which I saw this week. Scott uses flesh and blood and a mass of special effects beats him off the screen created in this monster of a movie.
The bearers of the ring make the miserable ascent to their final destination to dispose of it. Sauron being stuck as a giant burning eye the whole time sort of limits what he can do. Peter Jackson solves that with a dreamlike moment of Frodo's final struggle.
Peter Jackson is clearly a genius in his ability to allow actors to act and giving them space to do so. Lord of the Rings would have been so much lesser had he mashed the actors in special effects and monsters like George Lucas does.
The biggest applause is for New Zealand's landscape. It is the land of 'Lord of the Rings.'
