dear reader, I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I had heard a lot about the Return of the King when it came out in theaters and I wanted to know what it was about so I could see what the big deal was. So i went to the library and got the Hobbit and read that and was like ok this is what everybody's going crazy about I wasn't impressed then I read the Fellowship of the Ring and I wasn't that into it because it was a pretty complicated book. So then I rented the movie and was like ok I love this trilogy. So all in all I read all three of the Lord of the Rings books (plus the Hobbit) in less than a month and saw the movies after completing each book. My dad and I went and saw the Return of the King at 7:30 pm and didn't get home till 11:00. yes the Lord of the Rings movies are about 3 hours long. but they are really really good. I think the characters are very well cast and the special effects are great. All in all the movies are just perfect.
My dad says I'm a Lord of the Rings nut. he's probably right. if my mom and dad would let me I would watch them every day all day. but they get tired of me watching them and threaten to hide them or even throw them away. so I am limited to watching them 2-5 times a week. sad huh? my favorite part of the Return of the King is, well I'm not totally sure it's all great. I think the part where Frodo gets on the boat and leaves in the end is sooooooooo sad I was ready to cry. the only complaint I have about the Return of the King is the part at the very beginning. the part where it shows Gollum as a real person and then finds the ring and kills his friend. why didn't they put that scene in the first or second movie I think it would have been better in one of those. but that is not really important. Yeah I admit the lord of the rings movies aren't for everyone but hey they are for me so that's all that matters to me . thanx for taking your time to read this thing
