The Lord of the Rings trilogy - Movie Reviews

[St.Jáck]

Well i think it was great but it wasn't the best ever i thought it could have more at the king of the dead part but it was really good best bit is when Legolas kills the Olophant

[x~x..cheese+beef..x~x]

I don't think Return Of The King was as good as it culd have been, i don't know why, but expected it to be better, I fell asleep!  Then ending was the worst ever!!  I absolutely hated the end, it was painful sitting there with the screen teasing me with possible endings but never actually ending!!  I didn't even think the most dramatic parts had the 'edge-of-my-seat' effect

My Movie Review,

ROTK, well where to start!!! Carries on the most memorable story line ever written, PJ does the world a favour by making sure this final installment of the trilogy doesn't let the rest down!! My personal highlight is Eowyn's line "I am no mere Man" Wow, shows the strength of women, amazing scenery and costumes, the weapons are superbly made, and well it will flabberghast anyone that watches!! Out TUESDAY!!!!!! woohooo

In continuation i shall add that, having read and re read and read again the entire series by the time i had it on DVD i was VERY pleased with the way it was done, comedic snips tthrown in at nits that needed it, not that they were bad or any thing, just the situation they were in. Anyway, by some miricle, and this is the only downer for me in the movie, Aragorn is brought back to life by a HORSE!? now the horse i dont understand and don't mind, but the reincarnation? we saw it with Gandalf already! Aragorn follows the people to Helm's Deep, knowing the route well, on his way he just so happens to see a army of 10.000 Aruk-Hai form Isengard heading towards Helm's Deep. A army of Elves led by Haldir show up, after all the men of Rohan only have 300 pple. The elves are led by Haldir of Lothlorien, some old man starts the battle by shooting one of the uruk-hai (only 9.999 to go) after a comdeic pice between Legolas and Gimli involving a box. The men of rohan are forced to retreat to the Keep, in this process Haldir loses his life after being struck in the back by a Uruk-Hai, some excellent camera angles in this sequence. Eventually the Uruk-Hai blow up the outer wall and breach the Hornburg, King Theoden, who as yet has done jack all, gves a speech and rides out to finally do something (Tell the warriors to block the door.) Aragorn and Gimli try to give the Rohan's more time by blocking the door, they have to jump a gap to get to it, and Gimli is tossed over it (NOT in THAT way!) they beat the hec into a load of them then Theoden tells them to get out of there, Legolas throws down a rope and  hauls them up. Eventually Aragorn convinces Theoden to ride with him against the Uruks, then Gimli says the sun is rising and Gandalf and Eomer show up (at last) The uruks have the hell kicked into themand run into the forest...

Meanwhile Merry and Pippin are doing their bit in Isengard, making the remaining Ents kick the hell into the remaing Uruk hai, even if this isn't seen on the Regulation DVD.

ok my REVIEW,

obv, the big thing in the whole film is the Battle at Helms Deep and what a battle, The atmosphere of the whole battle was just inbcredible, something you just can't fault at all, I think everyone will agree with me on thwat point, Viggo took his part and played it to a remarkable extent, Very well cast in his role, as were all the characters in my opinion, the story line carried on and well it was just all sooo realistic that the film was taken to an axceptional level, a must se for any movie fan, or well anyone in that matter, everyone needs to see this film!!!!!

I watched it Friday night.
I didn't like the first LOTR, thought the second was decent, but this is easily the best one. If a bit predictable at times (I've never read the book, I didn't know the story before the films). For example, I knew fine rightly the dead army (?) would help in one of the wars, you could just tell.

Overall, good film, I'd watch it again, unlike the very first one.

[Ceridwen]

My overall opinion on the film is...a great ending to the trilogy. I really enjoyed watching Return of the King. I thought it was more emotional than the last two films and in a way, I thought it had more emotion of bravery than the last two films as well.

After I watched the beginning of the film, I finally understood why Smeagol/Gollum loved the Ring and also why he hated the Ring as well. I learnt more about Smeagol/Gollum after watching that part.

I literally cried to most parts of the film because not only was it emotional but it was hauntingly beautiful as well. I really liked the part when Pippin sang to Denethor, his voice was so beautiful and the song was an incredible song too. I loved the part when the Beacons were lit too, it made me smile. Dunno why but it did.

I just loved the battle at Minas Tirith, it was brilliant and really action packed. The Oliphaunts I thought were amazing. And I especially enjoyed watching the part when Frodo goes into Shelob's Lair, I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw it. I was really upset when King Theodwyn died at the battle and also when Eowyn defeated the Nazgul/ Lord Sauron (I can't remember!).

I really enjoyed the part when the One Ring was destroyed. I thought the part when Gollum/Smeagol bit Frodo's finger off was really horrible and it made me feel squeamish.

The one part I thought was amazing was the part when Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli entered that cave and they saw those spirits who would only fight for the King of Gondor. I thought that part was really amazing.

The ending made me smile most. I panicked during part of it because I thought that Sam and Frodo were going to be stuck in Mordor forever until Gandalf came to rescue them. The coronation of Aragorn made me cry especially when Arwen was there too. I just loved watching the part when Frodo boards the Last Ship to Valinor. I cried so much when I saw that.

My favourite character in the film had to be Samwise. I finally understood how loyal he was to Frodo and how much of a good friend he really was etc.

I think ROTK was fantastic. Really enthrawling and very emotional. I cried loads, but not too much, I cried when Pippin sang, when Theoden died and when the Hobbits parted, that part made me cry loads! And the song "Into The West" makes me cry too.

But overall, I think it was amazing.

[Ceridwen]

I thought that TTT was even better than FOTR. It had more action and more emotion than the first movie.

I really enjoyed Miranda Otto as Eowyn in this film. I feel she was my favourite character in the film. I was really freaked out by Grima Wormtongue but I thought he was a brilliant character though.

When Aragorn fell, I thought he did die but I was shocked to see that he didn't die. I really liked the parts which featured Arwen...I admired her in this film because of her loyalty to Aragorn and her love for him as well.

I loved the battle at Helm's Deep as well. I thought that was brilliant...lots of action and I just loved watching the making of the film too.

I read TTT just before seeing it in the cinema and I could imagine what Fangorn Forest looked like. When I saw that part, that's how I imagined it. I loved that part too...it was such a beautiful and enchanting forest.

[Ceridwen]

I was really exicted to see this film.

I enjoyed every part of it. I loved the battle at the beginning of the film when they were at Mordor and when Isildur defeated Lord Sauron. I thought that part was amazing.

Bilbo Baggins' party was well made as well, I enjoyed watching the fireworks and I was excited to see the big dragon firework as well.

The two places I thought were beautiful had to be Rivendell and Lothlorien. The forest in Lothlorien was so beautiful and enchanting...I really liked the part when you could see a bird's eye view of Rivendell in the mountains...I thought it was mysterious.

Moria was well made too. I imagined Moria to look like the way it did in the film. I thought the Balrog was really clever as well and I also enjoyed listening to how they made it as well when I went to the exhibition in January.

I love the friendship in the movie, its so touching! this is my fav of the three. the only objection to this movie, is that I dont espescially care for the acting job of Theoden. hes not a very strong character, and well, i think that hes sorta a wimp(at times) and other times hes great! the battles were incredible! and when eowen says "I am no man!" we all shout and cheer, and say, you go girl! lol.

[Akira]

i was impressed with this movie, i thought the emotion and exasperation expressed in frodo and sams last stretch of the jpourney was portrayed almost to the extent of the book, makes me think if i were in that situation, i dont think id have the energy to make it. however, was a bit disappointed in the scouring of the shire being taken out.

[rosshan]

WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME OUT I WAS SO EXITED1

THE FIRST FILM OF THE TRILOGY AND I COUND'T WAIT UNTILL I WHATCHED.

I THOUGH IT WAS A REAL START TO THE TRILOGY. IT WAS REALLY INTRESTED TO SEE ALL THE NEW CHARATERS. I SHAW HOPE THEY BRING OUT THE HOBBIT!

[legolasbabe]

I thought the movie was well laid out and the friendship between the characters were really good. I thought the movie was somewhat sad and exciting!

[LadyRobin]

As Pippin sang while Farimar went to certain death, the split of the cherries red by Denathor....the song will always be in my mind, Return of the King left me completely emptied and filled at the same time.
   ROTK is the most elegant and heart rendering film I have ever seen. LadyR
