Weakest of the 3 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Reviews
The stunning beginning and flawless effects will not restrain me from stating that it's the weakest of the 3. I felt an odd segmentation within the movie, as it did not flow smoothly like the previous 2. The acting wasn't quite up to par. Frodo's frequent encounter with conflict exposed his inability to act. The threat he faced were colossal, yet, he was unable to convey true fear. Also, Aragorn's feeble speech in recruiting the undead lacked conviction and strenth.
The special effects were beautiful. Gollum, Toad, Mammoths, the fighting scenes were executed with complete authenticity, where I was never pulled back to reality, thinking that a particular scene appeared unreal. The sheer number of soldiers in the battle scenes were phenomenal and overwhelming.
The sentimental drama that oozed all throughout the movie was a bit out of control. I thought for sure that hobbit were going to get fresh in some scenes. And if you're into patriotism, forget Black Hawk down, this is the movie for you. In numerous moments of complete desperation and brink of complete annhilation of aragorn's army, zillions of indestructable soldiers appears out of nowhere to obliterate everything that stands in their way.
Lastly, you are about to witness the longest ending in movie history. Initially, I feared that the ending may not give me a sense of closure and end abruptly. You definitely won't have to worry about that. I'm assuming that there will be an extended version of this movie. I hope there aren't addition footages of the ending.
