FANTASTICAL

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2003)

My daughter and I loved the movie and will probably see it again. If you liked FOTR you will not be disappointed. From the very beginning to the ending credits it was exciting. Andy Serkis was brilliant as Gollum. Before seeing the movie I watched a program on how he did his voice and movements and how they put on CGI. Viggo was impressive and strong as Agragorn. Was really impressed with Sean as SamWise looking out for Frodo and Elija as Frodo with the effect the ring is having on him now. Orlando Bloom is handsome as ever as Legolas. An added treat was Bernard Hill as King Théoden. He is one of my new favorites. If I had to fault the movie with anything it would be that I didn't get to see enough of Karl Urban as Éomér, David Wenham as Faramir, and Miranda Otto as Éowyn. Hope to see much more of them in ROTK.
