Review: JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece is brought to cinematic life by Peter Jackson in a way that surpassed many people’s, including my own, expectations. In response to the player-haters out there who keep pointing out that a lot was left out from the book I only have one thing to say. Shut up you whiny whiners. The scope was great, the respect to the original work was refreshing and the attention to detail was exceptional. Watching the actors grow together over the extended amount of time they had to spend together was especially evident in the third movie, particularly between Frodo and Sam. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this review because I don’t really have anything new to offer on these movies that everyone hasn’t felt already. But, if you haven’t seen these movies, go out and see them, you will not be disappointed.
Life Lessons: Gandalf = Awesome
Summary: Watch these movies.
Would I Watch This Again: I do a Lord of the Rings Marathon every year. I’m hoping that they are re-released on the big screen in 3D.
