:) loved it... (saw it last week with the industry folks) can't wait to see it again.

sad to see THE END on the screen....

Return of the King?


I'm right here.

I know someone who isn't gonna watch it until another 2 weeks because she thinks it'll be too sad to let the trilogy go so quickly... it's been three years... so fast...

Like Cyn, I saw it a couple of weeks ago as well at an industry function. It's brilliant (and a little sad, as it's the end), but I'm still surprised by the incredible press it's receiving. I can't remember the last time there has been this big of a love-in by the press on a film!

Now I can't wait for the extended edition DVD to come out, so I can sit on my arse for 12 straight hours! :D

hehe... the collectors extended directors cut special uncensored 10th year super edition is gonna be a boxset of 500dvds.
and cost 1000000$ and only the 7 kings of the world will be able to buy them.

Yes, it does come out tonight. And I cant go see it. $&!@^#@$!ing finals.

I saw the midnight premier of both of the other movies. Im pissed I cant finish out the trilogy :(

I wanted to see it tonight but I have to wait till Saturday.

/me will be dancing until 7 tomorrow night, when i can give the ticket guy my ticket, and rush to my seat!!!

I'm seeing it tomorrow which is today for you Americans or something, already bought my tickets to another screening this Saturday.

im from australia and it doesn't come out here until boxing day so i still have a wait

EPIC.

(Am I ruining this thread because I already saw it?)

just got back from seeing it ...wont ruin it..... but i liked it


Just remember to judge the movie on its own merit.....dont compare it to the prequils

after seeing it (got home at 5am)... i have a new fav movie.

Wow, its magnificent. And i hate alot of people for lying (you will see in the movie).

well, lucky me.
i get to wait till i get back from my holiday...

since its a boxing day release here, and i´ll be in Japan by then, i have to wait until mid way through january.

maybe i could see it there, as long as its only japanese subtitles, not japanese dubbing. my japanese certainly isn´t good enough for watching movies.

Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars out of 4. That's higher than Fellowship of the Ring and Two Towers. That means this one is the best. :) I can't wait. Only a few more hours!

This movie was absolutely excellent. Some of the best battle scenes I've ever seen. Great ending to a great trilogy.

Im donning my boots now. About to walk out and go see it. I cant wait. I dont feel sad that the end is approaching. Neal Gaiman said "Stories have to end it's what gives them meaning". This gonna be great!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It was easily the best out of the three, there was not one dull moment, not one negative point of the entire film. Just plain perfect. Of course die-hard Tolkienites will be disappointed but that's to be expected, no one can ever make a film that TRULY fulfills a captivated reader's perception of the book, especially a fantasy. Oh well. For what it's worth, an on-screen interpretation of a Fantasy novel, it's absolutely brilliant. I give it a 10/10. And I'm a bit of a film snob myself.

I saw the theatre marathon, where they played The Followship of the Ring extended and The Two Towers extended editions before playing The Return of the King, all in one sitting! And it only took twelve hours...

I have just returned home from seeing THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR! Absolutely astonishing. This may be the first time in all my 37 years that I will pay to see a movie in the theater more than once.

GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

The Star Wars and Matrix sagas have nothing on Lord of the Rings.


The only bummer is having to wait for the extended edition of RotK. Damn, I hope they dont drag it out until next December.

I hoped jackson could continue the streak and finish out a winner
he did
who the fuck is george lucas again?

wait, I remember, he's now officialy peter jackson's bitch

I just got back from seeing it too. It's sure to be a Best Picture contender, and I'd say it has the potential to win.

Great fucking movie.

Will said extended version actually have the anticlamax from the book upon their return to the shire? That was the only part i missed at all. Otherwise the movie was perfect.

ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

I was totally impressed with EVERYTHING in the movie... it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more.... really, they didnt leave out anything at all!.... well.... actually, they did... and it will all be added when the Special Extended DVD Edition comes out!!! i cant wait!

I generally back up my opinions on movies and games, but there isn't much of an opinion with this movie: GO SEE IT NOW. This is easily a qualifier for best movie of the year, and it's head and tails above Fellowship and Two Towers. Yes, it's much, MUCH better than the first two. I think I might see it again. I didn't feel like seeing Fellowship or Two Towers again, but...damn. This movie is a masterpiece. It's incredibly better than the first two. I can't really tell why, but it's simply amazing. Peter Jackson knew how to finish the trilogy.

I too just got back from seeing it. I think it can be summed up in two phrases that my friend Chris used this evening:
"If that movie had a vagina I'd stick my Penis in it."
and
"This movie is rated: Bring a towel."

The only thing i regret is sitting so close to the screen. We kinda ended up getting there only a half hour before the movie started so there was a long line meaning the theater was packed before we got there. We ended up having to sit in the third row. By the head I had a splitting headache. It was so worth it though and would do it again in a second! Will end up seeing it a few more time in the theater that's for sure.

The ending for the novel of Return of the King made me cry, I said to myself, "if the film can do the same, Peter Jackson has made gold". I cried, amazing, great stuff PJ you really did it, a film for the ages.
Spoiler: "My friends, you bow to no-one."

First thoughts: Incredible, amazing movie-fucking ruined by asshole theater-goers that decide to giggle loudly every fucking time frodo looks at sam, sam looks at frodo, merry hugs pippin, pippin hugs merry, and let's not even talk about the bedroom recovery scene. ARRRGGGGHHHH...

I want to rip some fucking heads off right now I'm so pissed.

yeah, there were some real idiots in the theater, (we even had one who yelled out a random star trek comment) but you gotta admit the bedroom recovery scene WAS kinda funny, irregardless of context between the characters.

Yeah, I had lost all sense of humor at that point... :mad:

Yeah, that was easily the tear-jerker of the movie. I almost got teary eyed. It did induce a softball in my throat, though! I said it once, and I'll say it again. This movie is a masterpiece.

BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME....enough said!!!!

GO SEE IT NOW....RUN!!!!

Speaking from the "I haven't read the books at all" standpoint, this movie is freakin' AWESOME. I actually fell asleep during The Two Towers; it got so complicated for people who hadn't read the books. Good movie, but the plot development could use some work.


Then I see Return of the King. My God....one of the best movies ever made. And I HAVEN'T read the books. This one brings it all together seamlessly. The action scenes are supurb, the acting is the best I've seen in a VERY long time, and I wasn't confused during any part of the movie. I loved it!!!!!!

I am actually suprised we havent herd anything that isnt "the best movie of all time" But then again, it is, so what else can you say? I almost cried, time and time again, i cant belive its over.


Best movie ever.

Why can't you all admit that you DID cry and that didn't ALMOST cry. BE A MAN FOR PITIES SAKE! lol

aaaah... i've finally come to accept that it's over...it only took many many days...but still i get all teary eyed thinking about THE END coming across the screen.....

Best line:

Spoiler: That still counts as just one!

the movie was fantastic. One of my favorites. That line was definitely the best in the movie.

That one was classic

you've gotta love Gimli :)

and yeah, there were some assholes in the theater when I went. I went to the 12:01 AM Wednesday morning (Tuesday night was more like it) and so it was full of Tolkieninte dressed in Hobbit costumes who would clap at certain things that were all clap-worthy (for a Tolkienite). Then these fucking dickheads (who we call 'wiggers' in these parts) started clapping in the middle of the film cos they thought it was funny.

Assholes.

I'm definetly going to see it a second time in hope of better seats, I was up way too close.
