Pros: Great cinematography
Cons: WAAAAAAAAAY toooooo muuuuuuch oooooooof iiiiiiiiiiit
Summary: Though I never read the books this last movie was not as lame as the first two but it was still very predictable and drawn out. The battle scenes were endless and became hard to watch. The movie was filled with slo-mo, frosted-glass, back lit reaction ... read more

Pros: Beautiful cinematography, excellent acting, moving plot, extra scenes
Cons: Ending of film, Christopher Lee being cut out of the original

Pros: No expense (or time) spared. All-access extras discs. Cool added scenes.
Cons: LONG. Expensive. More detail than most casual fans are ready for.
Summary: First of all this is a review of the "Extended Cut" of "The Return of the King." Normally I wouldn't bother doing a review of something that has 143 reviews before me (as of the last time I looked) but it seems Epinions isn't going to put a separate ... read more

Pros: Epic is truly to small a word, beautiful, well acted, well directed, CGI
Cons: Endind drags a bit. No real problem though. It is all well done.
Summary: The day had finally come. I'd been waiting twelve years for this. Fellowship and Towers were really just preludes in my mind to what this was going to be. Naturally I had high expectations for this film. I'd loved Fellowship and Towers more than I'd ... read more
