saw it today

REALLY good

but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
They could definitely cut down some of the battle scenes since I spend most of my time covering my eyes during those.

Word.
Just like the 2nd one, I didn't even notice it was 3 hours and 20 minute-long.
I really can't wait for the dvd! haha  :D

I agree. If I had my way it would be one 11 hour epic.

there were places in that movie where they should have just ended it right there and like did a fade out you know? but no, they just kept the story going, and going and going. they should have cut that last 20 min out because it was just a bunch of blaaaaaaaaah. otherwise, i thought the movie was amazing. awesome scenery and special effects.

I am speechless. It was beyond amazing. I cried so many times! I agree the ending was a little tedious but it was only to stay true to the book- and i'd rather that than a swift ending.

yes they all feed off eachother.

and as for all the endings... after living with these characters for the past 3 years, they've earned the proper sendoff for each character the way they did. I loved it.

agreed. but maybe thats because i really didn't care to see it that much in the first place.  I saw the first two, they're not my type of movies, but never the less- they are good, if thats the kind of movie you enjoy.  It's pretty amazing the graphics n things they use... I can totally see why they win awards- but its still not my thing.   :D but hey i didn't fall asleep this time! 8)

I hate LOTR, and all my friends do, so recently, they've all been too busy with RotK to pay attention to me!  :(

SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER! :)

(WARNING:  THIS POST CONTAINS SCENES THAT WERE NOT IN THE MOVIE, BUT WERE IN THE BOOK.  HOWEVER, IT MAY CONTAIN PLOT SPOILERS! So, if you haven't read the book and you're planning on seeing it and don't want to know anything, then don't read my post!)

The movie was incredible!  Best movie EVER!!!  However, for those who thought the movie was too short, it actually should have been longer and I wish it was.  If you haven't read the book here are a few things that were missing from it.:  At the end of ROTK there is a whole chapter in the book titled "The Scouring of the Shire" where the Hobbits go back and find the Shire a mess.  They then discover that Saruman and Wormtongue, after being banished from Isengard, had taken over the Shire and corrupted many of the hobbits there. With the help of "the heroes" the Hobbits rally up against Saruman and Wormtongue then Wormtongue ends up killing Saruman.  Wormtongue is then promptly killed by Hobbits.  From what I have heard, they didn't even film "The Scouring" so it won't even be in the extended DVD.  I'm bummed about that because I was looking forward to seeing that entire chapter on screen, but I thought the movie was absolutely awesome anyway!  There is also a whole bunch of stuff that goes on between Faramir and Eowyn which results in them falling in love and getting married, which would have been cool to put in, but not absolutely necessary.  If anyone noticed it, that's why you see them standing together, smiling at each other, in that ceremony at the end.  Like I said, I thought the movie was incredible, but as a fan of the book I do wish they would not have left a lot of this out.

I saw it tonight.... *speechless*

A beautiful ending to a GREAT epic!

Quick note however... In pt3 when the soldiers ride out from the city on the suicide run, they pass by some children, the human child in the foreground is the same totally cute hobbit kid in pt1 that sits there while Bilbo reads the story. The kid is all  8O and is the cutest thing!

I think that is Peter Jackson's little kid (according to a documentary I saw).

She's also in The Two Towers with all of the women and children in the caves at Helm's Deep.  I thought that was pretty screwy that you see the same kid in different roles in all three movies, but she is cute as a button! :razz:  lol!  I suppose that's why she's so noticeable.
