Wraps everything up Nicely! (No Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2003)

I saw this movie today, and I felt sad leaving the cinema, sad because the journey was over. For the 3rd Christmas in a row I have spent over 3 hours of my life in a Cinema hall to see if the Movies could live up to the books, the films have certainly bought the spirit of JRR Tolkiens story to the screen successfully. I won't go into how good an adaptation this movie was, instead I would like to talk about it as a Movie in it's own right - and it was great.
I don't think I have thought 'Wow' or 'F***ing hell' to myself so many times during a movie as i did today during ROTK. There were some jaw-dropping scenes; shot beautifully, but importantly complimented by some very good acting and some really touching ones too.
I really need to watch it again to take everything in, so much is said and done in this movie (at times it felt quite rushed despite it's length).

9/10 - I expect the extended edition to improve this!
