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!

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!-Lasereth

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

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.
