Well, being privileged to watch the movie in New zealand at the world premiere it feels bad I can't vote yet for the movie!!! 10 out of 10 for sure, and I have already invited as many friends who can't afford a ticket as possible to watch the 3rd and final episode of this trilogy. I do have a feeling overall however that somehow I feel as betrayed as Gandalf does when he meets Saruman. Peter Jackson's words about reading the books over and over again during the making off doesn't make much sense to me with so much left out, replaced or invented. However, two thumbs up. This third one is even better then 1 and 2, and I wish I could give 11 points instead of 10 (...). especially Ian who plays Gandalf and Viggo, grow even more in their caracters. Viggo is really the king of this movie, and does he deserve an Oscar? yes, he does! Not to mention the special effects and costumes. It is one of those rare movies where the special effects are lifelike, and you feel a part of this big event unfolding on screen.
I agree with others: forget about the Matrix, Lord of the rings the trilogy,I hope to see them all as ONE long 9 or 10 hours long movie in the cinema. I'll make sure I bring breakfast, lunch and dinner (will be terrible though if I really got to leave for the toilet then...)
