good movie, but...

Rating: Null/10 (24 December 2003)

Return of the King was a good movie. Although slow motion was overused and one liners came from left and right, the movie was good. RotK was definately not the greatest of the trilogy, let alone number three on the top 250 (where it stood when I wrote this). Come on people!!! It is very obvious that people just got caught up in the momentum of the series. Try to view the film as a film by itself, or even compare it to the others in the series. Fellowship had the suspense, Two Towers had the action...and Return of the king promised so much but just did not deliver. Don't get me wrong, RotK IS A GOOD MOVIE...but before we vote as the greatest movie of all time, before we even consider it the best movie in the LotR trilogy - let's please just think for once. Everyone take a step back...I highly doubt Return of the King is better than the Godfather, the Shawshank Redemption, or Casablanca (nor does the two towers come even close). Think about things, maybe revote - and vote on how good the movie is...and not on a cult phenomena
