Culmination of a 3-year experience

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2003)

What a great experience. This movie capped off a 3-year journey for me - one that included my first time reading the books (including The Hobbit and The Silmarillion) and several viewings of the movies. Each movie holds a special place in my heart, but I think that this last one is the most satisfying. I'll forever remember the beacons being lit, and Pippen's sorrow-filled song. Probably the most poignant moment, though, is Gollum's look as he gets to hold the ring one last time... and then the Eagles coming...
As a whole, I feel I've accomplished something coming out of this experience. I'd like to thank the movie-makers for this experience... for it truly has been fulfilling and life changing.
