Re: OT: Return of the King (Spoilers likely)
I really liked all of them...the first two, much more with the extended dvd's...but Return of the King in my opinion was an incredible movie...I really liked PJ vision of Aragorn's growing into a King....that is probably my favorite character plot...just Aragorns lack of confidence in being a good king, up to his realization in Return of the King as he IS the King....
Also...it is funny, but when they were all reunited in Frodo's room at the end....damn near made me cry....yeah, i know...marriage will do that to a guy...but that scene was VERY emotional....especially when Frodo found out that Gandalf was still alive....just some strong emotions there...anyone that has lost a loved one, will know what that could feel like.
The main battle was very impressive....and brutal i might add....many ppl complain about Legolas killing the Eliphant or whatever that elephant creature was....I think it was a good scene....it added to the battle I thought....may not have happened LIKE that in the books, but it was a detail of the battle....
My favorite line in that movie though....was Aragorn when the hobbits bowed to him at the end.... "My friends, you bow to no one"....just awesome I think....
I know that a book/movie is great to me when i wonder about the characters AFTER the story has ended....like, i think that Aragorn will die eventually....Legalos goes to the undying lands (and, along with Gimli, I may add)....all the stuff that happens AFTER the book/movie tells the story...and the LotR has that for me....so, I think it all has been a great adventure....
And to think, I just read the books for the first time right before The Two Towers came out in theaters....lol...ah well...
