Return of the king #2

[ #16380 ]
OK, I'll review it a bit more. Return of the King is really tying all loose ends together. You find out how Smeagol became Gollem, if Arwen really looks hot in that dress and why Frodo is stripped by Orks. There are some very nice battle scenes, great CGI scenes and plenty of useless killing. Anything else I tell you is a spoiler ofcourse.

    At least until some day in the distant future when I buy the three movie DVD set. (Have to get a DVD player first, one of these days.)
    • They had to cut Saruman, at least at the end. There is no theatrical way to have this huge battle, and all these resolutions, take three hours, and then make the people sit in the theater for another 30 minutes to show the scouring of the Shire. It could not work in a movie.

      However, it is extremely likely the Voice of Saruman chapter will be back in the extended edition.

      The love scenes in tTT were incidental, and didn't change the story at all. I was far more annoyed at what they actually changed, like
