Oscars, anyone?

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2003)

RotK has set the bar for every epic movie that follows it. It will certainly win Oscars, and I am certain that it will set records for most Oscars won--quite rightfully so.
The film takes the viewer, either seasoned LotR reader or those unfamiliar with the books, through the gamut of emotions multiple times. I found myself wanting to kill Gollum myself, give Sam a pat on the back, and cry for Faramir. Heartwrenching performances by the entire cast.
The cinematography and score were flawless. Yes, the special effects had some blunders, but there is no way to overlook the genius that created Gollum. This movie may never be surpassed in its brilliance.
And Eowyn? She makes me glad I'm a girl! What an Oscar worthy performance! I predict that RotK will sweep the Oscars. Now the only problem is trying to decide who will be nominated for acting, and in what category.
A well spent afternoon---and I will definitely see it more than once.
