The icing on the cake:)

A fantastic close to this epic masterpiece!
There were so many great scenes before the chaos of the final mammoth battle begins: The beginning of the film was really good as it showed the development of Gollum into the monster he became; the 'lighting of the beacons' was very well executed; the scene where Faramir is riding to his death, while Pippin sings to his evil father was truly haunting; Shelob's lair was another great part of the story...more great effects; the undead soldiers' cave sequence was very nice, and a nice addition...as it seemed impossible for good to have overcome evil without their assistance.
Finally the epic battle of Minas Tirith! All hell brakes loose in this one...there are fantastic fights in this one: The Nazguls in flight, the mythic elephants trampling everything, Eowyn's fight with the Nazgul, Gandalph's face-off with the Nazgul etc etc!! There were some complaints to the long ending of the movie. I disagree, as a friend of mine put it...a movie and story that has given the movie world so much deserves a celebration of 20 minutes! Overall, this trilogy is my favorite movie of all time. Hats off to P.J and the entire team for bringing this remarkable and complex adventure to life! Deserves every praise possible!
For the true fans out there I recommend they buy the extended version of the trilogy to enjoy more depth and visual treats!
Bring on 'The Hobbit'!
