Powerful film

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2013)

The movie is for those older than 9 years old. This movie forms a powerful conclusion to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The cast is truly outstanding. The scenes are epic in dimension. To me, it seems as though almost the entire fellowship of the ring become heroes in this chapter. Although it is a standalone movie, it is the conclusion to the other two Lord of the Rings' movies. I have read the books several times and the movies does do justice to the story. Although Frodo is the ultimate hero, to me, it is Sam (Frodo's friend) who inspires me. The movie demonstrates that it takes more than one or two heroes to defeat evil, it takes the teamwork of all who have a vested interest in goodness, loyalty, and honor. It takes courage and the steadfastness to see a task through. This movie presents a glorious ending to Frodo's task to rid the world of the evil wizard and his hold on power. The movie also shows that however good and courageous are the hearts of men, they can in the end lose faith and falter. However, it is the team that wins and one heart is not enough to turn the fates of men to lose. Way, way thumbs up.
