Without a doubt the greatest ending to a trilogy!

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2003)

First I have to tell you that when Fellowship of the Ring came out, I didn't see what the big deal was since I didn't really hear of Lord of the Ring before but had heard of the Hobbitt before. In fact, I couldn't help but think "OKay it's a movie that's going to have a bunch of geeks trying to dress up like the characters in the movie." Well, I didn't dress up like a character in the movie but this is in my opinion the greatest trilogy of all time, and that's including Star Wars, Matrix (although the last one stunk) and the Indiana Jones movies!
I hope that this movie does end up with the Best Movie because of the fact that this was purely an ensemble cast. Even with only a handle of appearances by Liv Tyler makes this a great movie. Sean Astin should definately get the supporting actor role nomination and/or the Oscar itself. I don't know if any other supporting actor that had as much impact on a movie than Astin did.
I think the best thing about this movie was the fact that they didn't just stop working and then go work on a sequel, they pretty much worked through all 3 films without taking a break. This movie in my opinion deserves 5 stars out of 5 stars and I hope that they get a major award.
