Hail to The King

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2003)

Gutsy Jackson made a musical epic phenomenon. Even when continuity falls apart in Shelob´s cave, THE RETURN OF THE KING IS AMAZING. Finally the hobbits sang LIKE IN THE NOVEL. Finally Aragorn looks amazing as a king and sing. Gollum mets his antique body and finally we saw a lot of eagles and dragons.
The performances are astonishing, Sean Austin deserves awards. Billy Boyd makes a great performance and Sir Mac Kellen shows his anger even when people could think his shy and peaceful. We never saw Sauron but we fear him all the 3 and a half hour movie.
What happened with Worm Tongue and Dracula? they just are hidden in the tower. The women finally showed their guts and Peter jackson presents his aesthetics so depured and full of color and mysticism. Annie Lennox presents the original song in the end and it´s a jewel. We can see the friendship of hobbits and the tour de force of Gollum.
The best film ever? i think is one of them it´s not just an epic film. it´s a mirror of world history.
Is it good? yep, even when billy boyd fight against Sauron´s sphere and pretend he is hurted as frodo did in the first part, the movie shows how magnificent is Tolkien and his perception of his Middle-Earth.
Hail to Aragorn Hail to Tolkien Hail to Jackson Hail to God.
