Return of the hollywood magic

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2003)

I watched the first film not knowing what I was getting into. However I came out of the theatre feeling absolutely amazed with the film. It simply touched me, and the first time in my life, I had felt such strong emotions for a film. And the 2nd film made me got addicted to the trilogy. It got me to read the book and find out more about the writings of Tolkien.

The Return of The King is a wonderful film. Peter Jackson blended the emotions of the characters so well with the battles of middle earth that you don't feel lost at all. Unlike other fantasy films, LOTR evokes such strong feelings amongst the audiences that you would feel like you are one of them - an elf, orc, treebeard, human, wizard or hobbit.
The music suits the theme of the movie so well that it helps to liven up the whole battle scenes.
I must say that Peter Jackson has done a superb job as a storyteller and a film-maker. Elijah Wood did a great job as Frodo. He looked really exhausted throughout the journey...and it looks really real.
Good work, hollywood!
