Really good movie....

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2003)

The more time I have had to think about this movie, the more I realize that it really is a great movie. I saw it last night for the first time and when leaving the theatre, I was not in total awe like with some movies. After sleeping on it and working some today, I have thought more about the character development, the story and the action and I believe this is one of the best movies I have seen. I still think FOTR is the best of the series, but Golem's character development in this movie is pure greatness. Samwise was my favorite character in this movie, Sean Astin did a marvelous job and deserves an Oscar nomination for this movie. I was a little let down by some of the battle scenes, but know that once the extended version comes out, it will be much more clear. Overall, Peter Jackson did a great job with all three movies and deserves more credit than could possibly be given. I am giving this movie a 10 of 10 rating, great movie.
