Watched Return of the King at Shaw today. Living up to the mammoth expectations, this movie contained many epic sequences of awe-inspiring scope, to the extent that I wanted to jump out of my seat and onto the Pelennor Fields ( popcorn on my left hand, coke on my right ), fighting side by side with the Rohan people, as we slay the flying dragons and do battle with the vast lumbering What-the-fuck-is-that-thing elephantine creatures, and finally kick all the Orcs' asses aLLLL the way back to Mount Doom! haha, i wish.
But what i think made this trilogy so special for me is that the characters' are endowed with genuine heroism-- they have the courage to do do difficult, frightening, dangerous and noble things in spite of their fears, NOT because they they are fearless.... Also, what i found most poignant in the movie was the bond between Frodo and Sam, a friendship forged in suffering, which i thought was pretty touching.
Only complaint about the movie would be the film's final scenes, which seemed liked a road that went on and on and on. Oh man, u cld tell that the director just couldn't bear to let go of his characters... There was way too much hugging and crying at the end for my liking...
I mean, ROLL THE GODDAM CREDITS... I NEED TO PEE!!!... DESPERATELY! haha
