Pros: Plot, characters, scenery, and effects. Basically everything. Cons: It is the last movie in the trilogy. Might be too long for some people.
In December of 2001, the first installment of the movie version of The Lord of the Rings was released. I didn’t really know anything about the trilogy until I started to see the previews for the first movie, ...
Pros: A film that remains very faithful to the source material. Cons: Be warned that this is nearly four hours in length, without an intermission.
It's a known fact that most sequels stink. Nine times out of ten, a follow-up will lack something of a punch, or they can't grab that energy that was in the first time outing of a story or characters. With a great deal of relief, I can honestly say ...
Pros: the crowning finale of the story Cons: couldn’t exist without some imperfections
(Pre-ramble: I’m afraid I won’t be exorcising any broad spoilers from this review for the sake of people who have had shopping bags over their heads this past week. I’ll try to group any important story and character spoilers together in one spot for ...
Pros: Great effects, most of the plot, excellent acting especially by Woods and Astin Cons: Strays from the book too often, over-long scenes, important bits missed out
Without a doubt this was the most hotly awaited film of the year – even more so than another trilogy finisher, M
atrix:
Revolutions. The main difference is that this had a great first film (...
Pros: Performances, Costumes, Sets, Special Effects, Score Cons: One major plot segment from the book is missing.
Well, aren’t I just setting a fine example for the young Epinionators? Here I am, more than five months after I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in the theatre, and only now am I writing my review of it. Why, the DVD is even ...
Pros: Direction, effects, acting...this has become the new standard for Movie Trilogies Cons: Give us an intermission, for Pete's (Jackson) sake!
Yesterday I was “finally” able to see “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.” Less than a week after it came out, and yet an eternity of half-reading other peoples reviews to avoid spoilers, but trying to get a gauge of how people felt about it. The ...
Are you ready for this?... Without hesitation I tell you honestly that Peter Jackson has truly managed to save the best for last. Yes you heard me right the best of the trilogy and, with a running time of three hours and twenty minutes, you better ...
Pros: Mortensen. Noble. Merry and Pippin grow up. And again, the Rohirrim. Cons: It’s a long wait for the extended version.
I’ve already heard some complaints that Peter Jackson’s The Return of the King makes no sense as a movie. The nicest thing I can say about this is that these people have forgotten one of the things—the most obvious thing—that ...
Pros: Cast, direction, story, characters, effects. Cons: Arwen, 3 half hours and I had a large Coke, I nearly burst.
I was first introduced to the world of Tolkien 2 years ago to the day, strange as it seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in a theatre enjoying the first Lord Of The Rings film, The Fellowship Of The Ring, yet it was also on that ...
Pros: The Nazguls were fantastic. Cons: It is the end ....
Just back from a trip to town to do a spot of Christmas shopping and more importantly, to catch the latest offering in the Lord of the Rings trilogy ... The Return of the King. We ended up at the 5pm screening as the night screening was fully ...
Pros: Acting, cinematography, story, direction, music... Cons: Maybe the drawn out ending...
You know a movie is great when a huge, entirely packed theater remains silent for three and a half hours. Until I saw Lord of the Rings: Return of the King yesterday I didn’t think such a thing was possible. I was wrong. Return of the King ...
Pros: Eowyn's swordfighting. Special FX. Pretty city. Oliphaunts. Sean Astin as Sam (clap clap) Cons: Several "ending" points, some people "die" like eight times
Well, that certainly didn't feel like three and a half hours. Funny, as I was driving home under the grayest of skies, I could hardly recall a smidgen of what I had just seen. It all comes and goes in the blink of an eye, like middle age, which also ...
Pros: The story and the telling. Acting. Sean Astin. Cons: A few plot oddities. Pacing. Revised ending.
When I reviewed the first installment of The Lord of the Rings, I said that the movie was almost sideways about its own plot. That it was not ‘here is something that happens, and these are the people involved,’ but rather, ‘here are some people, ...
Pros: closes out the LOTR series wonderfully (albeit the drawn out ending), actors are magnificent Cons: ending drawn out
If you would have told me 3 years ago that this trilogy would end up being my favorite movies ever, I would have told you to suck an icicle. I wasn’t at all familiar with J.R.R. Tolikien’s Lord of the Rings books, and so when the ...
