There are "movies" and then there is LOTR

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2004)

I admit I have an irrational fondness for these films, loving them more each time I see them. I know others here have said this, but if you've only seen ROTK once, go again. There's too much to absorb on first viewing. I've seen it several times, each time in a large, filled or nearly filled theatre, and I think it speaks to the power of the filmmaking and the story that I marvel each time at how little squirming, shuffling, and sighing there is for such a long movie. Granted, there are people who hate the ending(s), but again, on second viewing, it feels right and deserved. I'm sad only that there won't be another one to look forward to next December.
