WOW!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2003)

Hearing all the great reviews about the movie was enough for me. I went to the theater yesterday, anticipating the most amazing movie I'd ever seen- and I can say with assurance- that it was the closest I'd ever get to seeing a "perfect" movie. Everything on screen, from Shelob, to Pellenor, to the Paths of the Dead, I kept gasping and covering my mouth as to not release a scream! Although I had read most of the trilogy and researched much of it, I had a smile stuck on my face for three hours and twenty minutes. Everything I witnessed made me smile :) The ONE complaint I had was the missing scenes. Not so much Saruman at the beginning or the scouring of the shire but more of the Eowyn-Faramir story as well as Eomer- especially when he finds Eowyn after defeating the Witch King and even Faramir. With Eomer and Eowyn I had previously read how brilliant Karl Urban was and seeing a quick glimpse of it in the trailer, it had personally been one of the most anticipated scenes in the movie for me. Although I was slightly diappointed by the missing scenes- it is still the most AMAZING movie or even movies I have ever scene. No movie will ever top this- ever- It is the single most amazing film i have ever seen. I have to say, I have seen it twice and it has gotten better each time. Though people complain about the length, it goes very quickly and is wondeful to watch. I honestly cant put into words how amazing this movie is- everyone should go see it!
