Why does it have to end?

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2003)

Never have I been so sad when a movie ends, not because the movie was sad but because I will never get to experience anymore of the characters I have grown to love over the past 3 years. I won't say that this movie is flawless, but I will say that the first 3 hours were the best 3 hours of film contained in one movie that I have ever seen. People who dislike the first 2 movies because they deviated from Tokien's original storyline will not like this movie either, but that wasn't a concern for me despite having read the series 7 times. I love the books in a different way, but Jackson's interpretation is almost as I'd envisioned Middle Earth. It is a shame the story had to end.
