Long ending, which keeps the story alive

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2005)

Of course it doesn't match the books - however! Its a great movie - nothing more! Being a big fan of the trilogy, i was scared watching this in theaters. But the movie encounters me within minutes. After all, the endings seem to be a bit long - many find it faulty, that the film has three endings, but anyhow: I think this keeps the story alive! In some good films I thought "Oh, it's ended" and got sad, which the ROTK made a bit longer to withstand. *spoiler* The scene where Frodo and Sam do the last effort to the "mount of doom" is sure to be the best scene ever appeared in a movie. The music and sound effects behind it make it such overwhelming, that I can not forget it!
