Well, we saw 'Return of the King' last night. Of course, we enjoyed many parts of it immensely. You may remember from years past that my first review does not include criticism, just the stuff I enjoyed. So let's get on with it:
- Miranda Otto/Eowyn - loved most everything about her. Whenever she's on stage I call out 'Choose her!'
- Aragorn was more regal, and Christine said she felt Viggo's performance was better.
- Sir Ian McKellen continues his star turn
- a lot of the Pippin stuff, including Billy Boyd's singing
- really, all the Hobbits do a good job. Christine called this 'The Movie of the Brave Hobbits'.
- Minas Tirith
- Frodo's and Sam's relationship (with one minor objection)
- the lighting of the signal beacons
- Grond, the hammer of the Underworld
- the ride of the Rohirrim at The Battle of the Pelennor Fields
- Minas Morgul
- The Straight and Winding Stairs to Cirith Ungol
- Shelob
- the Phial of Galadriel
- Sam in the Tower of Cirith Ungol
- Galadriel is chill at the end
- the ending (which I can't talk much about right now)
Hopefully that makes you even more excited to go see the movie. It's always good to remind myself of all the good things. Otherwise the unreasonable expectations can overwhelm...
