Final Say

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

Ok, I'm not commenting on all 3 movies one by one, so what I have to say will just be in this one. Great movie and all that. Cinematography was lush and the music was awesome. Great acting and application of a novel to film. Yadda yadda yadda. For the 3rd one, it was pretty obvious that the only reason they had the chick was because "no man" could kill that evil dude. Duh! We all know people were obsessively literal in ancient times. I never felt the pull of the ring. It's a damn evil ring. Throw it away. I can't understand why everyone's going after a freaking evil ring. Maybe the acting wasn't all that good to explain that, but really. Get over it. You people built an entire movie based on a damn ring? OK...Frodo, chill out. Gollum was the best thing in the entire movie. He was so ugly, he was cute. I loved the character and the fact he kept calling Sam the fat one. Plus, I like anyone who speaks in the 3rd person. Makes you wanna psychoanalyze them. The acting was too serious for something they made into a video game, but I guess they were trying to get that Oscar. New Zealand's a beautiful place and I saw half of Xena/Hercules' cast and extras in the film, lol. Good call with that one. This film takes way too long to get to the point. You can skip Part 2 and still get the movie. It tied up all the loose ends and that's good, but why did Frodo leave? The problem with movies like this is that when they're cut up into 3 parts, you forget things that they showed before and you get lost. At least that was my problem. They'd wrap everything up and think they were introducing new things. It's lovely and I'm sure America enjoyed it, but I as usual always have my issues. Good movie.
