Great film, but you can see where bits were missing!

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2004)

As I said this is a great film, but I'm waiting with baited breath, fingers crossed etc... for the extended version - I want to see what it should have been like! Small comment and I know it's because it was easier to film that way, but the battle of the Pelinor Fields, just wasn't up to much - there were no fields and the orcish army marched straight over a plane, nor what most people would call the Pelinor Fields, I think. The music is, of course, fantastic and climaxes with Annie Lennox singing "Into the West". Well deserved all of the Oscars received - of course it's not a 'stand-a-lone' film it's part three or a very long film and as such the trio get a fantastic rating from me (particularly the extended versions - with the missing bits replaced!)
Well done all concerned.
