This movie will change it all

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2004)

Wow!, there wouldn't be enough words to do justice how good this whole trilogy is. I think it will definitely change the way Hollywood works, for better. First, it must have been very risky for the producers to embark on making not one, but three films with such a high budget, without knowing how the outcome would be. Had the first one done poorly on the theaters they would have lost more than Waterworld.
All in the trilogy was very well taken care of. There are no special effects defects, the computerized creatures (Smeagol/Gollum, for example) look very real, the characters are very well personified by the actors. The storyline is perfectly told. Sure, some people complain about the changes from the original books that were made in the script, but I think they are necessary. For one thing, the feminine presence would have been highly missed.
The aesthetic aspect is also remarkable. This movie is candy for your eyes. Yet it's not just a watch for the special effects movie, it's one of the greatest stories told, and it really gets you inside the feelings the characters are facing throughout the journey to destroy the ring.
For one thing, this movie has already changed the way Hollywood makes its films. Now it's no longer necessary to have an ending on a "part 1" the ending can be in part 2 (as in kill bill) or in part 3 (LOTR). Also it will prove that blockbusters can (and should) be bigger risk takers in getting out of the too rigid Hollywood formulas, and especially being more careful with the script and the quality of the story to be told, because after all, without that you don't get a good movie, no matter how many special effects and high rated stars you stuck in it.
