One Movie to rule them all

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2003)

Glad like a small child I entered my cinema to see all three movies in a row. I was sure that this movie never would disappoint me..but it did..a little bit. Everybody knows that the story was changed a little bit in Part 1 and 2 but in Part 3 The Return Of The King the changings weight much more than in the other two parts. The biggest mistake is in the beginning, when Samuran doesn´t appear ! I can understand when Christopher Lee lives in big anger now. You can not handle a legendary Artist in that way. Besides C.Lee reads the Lord Of The Rings each year ! The next problem is that the audience often recognizes that there are a lot of cuts purpose a bit of the sound is missing or the next scene doesn´t fit really. The next thing which disturbs me was the atmosphere. For example there was a lot of suspence in Part Two when the Uruk-Hai Army arrived at Helms Deep. In Part 3 everything goes too hasty. We have to remember that the extented version will goes 1:30 Minutes longer ! The final chapter of the movie is completly different of the book. Maybe you will like it maybe not. I was a little bit too confused about that. Besides that it is still a great movie. Everybody acts well, there are still great effects, funny dialogs, bloody action scenes and an end theme song from Annie Lennox where some people of the audience started to cry ! I hope that this fantasy trilogy will change the mind of hollywood that fantasy isn´t profitable and that they will produce much more movies like that. Maybe it will have the same effect as Star Wars-A new hope. So let us hope for more movies like that. Hail to the King !
