Peter Jackson is Gandalf in disguise

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

Everything is perfect. A fitting ending to the trilogy. I have to say this is the best of the 3.
I watched Fellowship of the ring again on HBO after I came back from the Cinema after Return of the King. I cannot help but notice how much the character developed.
Seriously everyone out there should go watch Fellowship after Return of King, you can actually see visibly how the character developed. I guess I have to attribute it to PJ shooting all 3 together because emotionally and character wise, you the actors grew with the role seamlessly. For example, Frodo's face was so much sadder at the end than beginning and how Merry and Pippin's innocence in the face left them at the end.
The fight scenes are much better here. However, the funniest line was still by Gimli after Legolas singlehanded down a Oliphaunts. "It still counts as one".
The ending though could have been better. Theres no closure on Arwen's fate in middle earth. Theres no mention of Sam taking the last ship to the East and Legolas and Gimli traveling off together. But then again PJ would have to squeeze in another 20mins.
