Lord of the Rings - Return of the King

Yesterday, (Boxing Day) I took my children to see the third film in the Lord of the rings Trilogy. We had to advance purchase tickets and there was a huge queue waiting to go in, We went an hour early to get good seats.

The movie took 3 hours and twenty minutes but it was time that passed swiftly. It devloped many of the characters much more than the first two films and some of the battle scenes were totally awsome.

There were touching and emotional moments as well as action aplenty. Having read The Hobbit and the enthralling Lord of the Rings books by Tolkein, I came away feeling that the books were enhanced by the movies when often you feel let down after seeing the movie having read the book(s).

Really worth seeing.

Peter Jackson did an excellent job of making such an extensive book into a film

grumbleguts,

The tale told on the screen was a bit different from that of the book, but I do think Mr. Jackson illustrated the carnage of battle better than Prof. Tolkein described it.

Well Prof. Tolkein admitted himself that he was not the best at the depictions of the battles. If they can be conveyed by someone who can still adhere to the original style and only fill in the gaps and make it riveting....HUZZAH I say!

Glad to hear that it is good. I am wanting to see it, and hopefully soon!

I hope to see it soon. I can't wait! I saw the first one at the cinema, was just getting into it and then it ended! Didn't get to see the 2nd one but really hope to see the 3rd.

Slightly off topic... but... Anyone that has a chance to should really check out the Lord of the Rings exibition. It's going to USA and then moving on to Australia before it disappears forever... I highly recommend it. It's so amazing seeing the costumes and weapons up close... You even get to see the waxwork of Boromir (played by Sean Bean) from the first movie, when he was in the boat. Absolutely breathtaking.

On another note, although Harry Potter has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings, since it was brought up, I find the books and movies enchanting, and anything that can get kids to take up reading is a good thing in my opinion.

Am I getting mixed up here? Apologies if I am.

Put it this way then: I'm sick to death of both.

ukGČ,

You may wish to avoid both. Patience. They will soon be supplanted by some other "hot thing".

Steph,

I did not say that the film was better than the book. In my opinion, it is not, for a variety of reasons. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields however, by being a battle without gunpowder, lends its self to spectacle, and I thought Mr. Jackson used that very well in the film.
