LOTR-Return of the King

Okay, I'm sure that you LOTR junkies have already seen this (you know who you are ), but for those who haven't yet I highly recommend this film. Be prepared to sit through the 3 1/2 hour end of the "trilogy". It is beautifully done. Peter Jackson deserves an Oscar for this. The only thing I hated was remembering that this is the last of these fantastic movies. I actually felt like crying at the end. Now I guess I will have to look forward to the Harry Potter movie this summer. However I know that the Potter movies pale in comparison.

I actually felt like crying at the end.

There was a grown man sitting in front of me in the theater who was wiping tears from his eyes at the end.

DH and I both also really liked this movie. It didn't even seem like 3-1/2 hours, it literally flew by. Wonderful ending to the trilogy, Peter Jackson is a genius.

We saw it when we went to San Antonio (we'd seen the other two with this same couple)

LOVED IT!! The Washington Post describedit as soemthing like "3 hours of really great battle scenes and a half an hour of saying good-bye to old friends." I thought that was a very apt description.

And FYI- I just read that the little hobbit that Sam picks up walking back to the shire at the end of the movie is really SEan Aston's daughter. Pretty cool.
