wow!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2005)

I absolutely love this film! It's a definite must-see and an amazing end to the trilogy. It has something for everyone whether you prefer fighting or love. There are many scenes which will bring a tear to your eye and I cried so much at the end (and quite a bit all the way through!). Elijah Wood and Sean Astin did a superb job of portraying two friends on an incredible journey and facing death but staying together through it all, while Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan had me giggling with their antics as Merry and Pippin. Also, Gollum's cunning and betrayal is realised in the third film, ultimating in a bitter struggle between him and Frodo. So all in all, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is an emotional journey through a battle of good and evil but in the end love and friendship conquer all.
