Loved the Whole Series

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2004)

This whole series of movies was awesome. I wish they would have put a little more in regarding Aragon and Arwyns relationship, a little beefier role for Liv Tyler, although what they showed implied a soul connection, you know guys, true mates. She communicated with him telepathically, looked over him when he was in danger, that's what that part in Two Towers was about when he was floating in the water, she led him to the shore and then helped him to wake up. that might have been a bit too metaphysical for some. The movie was really long, I had 2 big back surgeries 18 months ago, 16 when we went to watch the movie. So unfortunately I started having severe pain in my legs about 35 minutes before the end of the movie. I forced myself to sit still until Sam saved Froto and the ring was destroyed, but by then I was in tears and so had to leave the theater. I'm not sure if I cried more from the pain or from not being able to see the end of the movie, but since four employees stopped me to ask if I needed help and lots of people watched me leave and go outside crying, I was too embarrassed to go back once my medicine started working :-(... My mom had to tell me about the rest of the movie, I really wanted to see Aragon get crowned and make sure they didn't vary from the book and pair him up with the princess Eowyn. Sam, Frodo, Merri and Pippin's home comings and reunions. Frodo finding out Gandalf wasn't dead and all that, now I have to wait for the movie to come out on DVD. I'm wondering if they are going to have the second movie that has deleted and extra scenes, or if they left them all in this time, since it was sooooo long. Anyways, I would recommend all three of these movies to anyone, in fact, I can't wait until I can watch all three in the same day. At least I'll be able to pause the movies when I need too. Just the huge scope and scenery of the movies were awesome, but the detail in the battle scenes, the costuming, I kept having to explain to my mom why Aragon always looked like he needed a bath, and point out whenever he looked like he had had one. Probably because Legolas, the elf always looked tidy... I think these movies are going to be epics with the longevity of the books, I highly recommend seeing this movie, of course I'm sure if you saw the first two, then you already have. If not, I recommend trotting on down to your neighborhood video sore and getting copies of the two that are out, and the extra money for the extended versions is worth it... I have both, the down side to the extended movies is that you have to change discs half way through the movie which is inconvenient unless you have a multi disc player.
