Beautiful movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2003)

It rocked, it really did. The battle scenes are like no other, they're incredible. You can't believe what Peter Jackson has achieved with this movie.
But what I thought was better than the battle scenes were how sentimental the movie was. The scenes where Sam and Frodo discuss how they will achieve their victory or recalling the days in the Shire is beautiful. Peter Jackson manages to get you right into the scene, it's great.
There were a few problems though.... The one liners are terrible and how Gimli is the comic relief disgusted me. I really hate how Gimli is supposed to be the dumb, comical character.
Howard Shore, once again delivers a flawless score that makes your hair stand on end.
All in all, I give this movie 9.5/10. The movie is beautiful, the cinematography is stunning, the graphics mind-numbing and the acting is great by mainly Gandalf, King Theoden and most of all, Eowyn.
You're all in for the ride of your life! If you thought the battle scenes from Master and Commander, Pirate's of the Caribbean and The Last Samurai were good, as a critic said, they are merely skirmishes compared to what Return of the King has in store.
