Terrific acting, emotional music and a legendary story make this one of the greatest movie in all movie history.Kitchen Benchtopshttp://www.kaystone.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-48357808445655200702008-10-04T17:00:00.000-04:002008-10-04T17:00:00.000-04:00Hey Falze, I agree.

This is going to be my next post, incidentally.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed Jackson's version of the battle of Minas Tirith, but it had its flaws, notably the green ghost army (which undercut Theoden's sacrifice on the battlefield, and frankly, was the least convincing piece of CGI in the movie), and the over-the-top Mumakil moments.<BR/><BR/>I do give Jackson credit for recovering nicely with the "you bow to no one" scene, and although the scouring was sadly cut, Frodo's departure was very heartfelt and well-done.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-5478590172471204802008-10-03T15:32:00.000-04:002008-10-03T15:32:00.000-04:00I think if you went back to an email I sent you af...I think if you went back to an email I sent you after TFOTR came out I made a comment to the effect that I was dying to see the battle for Minas Tirith based on the CGI in the first movie given that it would be two years on and Minas Tirith was such a huger (huger? more huge? whatever) battle than all the others.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, as you also have noted - Jackson failed Minas Tirith. Well, maybe failed isn't quite right. But it wasn't a homerun, it wasn't an A+...it was a let down. Helm's Deep was a more impressive visual performance than Minas Tirith in the movies. I mean, it was what it was, but compared to the book, it was a let down.<BR/><BR/>That said - that's not such a bad thing, that when you reread TROTK, it is still up to your imagination and not that of Peter Jackson's moviemaking abilities and budget.<BR/><BR/>I think everyone would love to see another hour of this movie that never happened, though. Give me 15 minutes of Aragorn sneaking into the city to heal his allies, the development of a relationship between Faramir and Eowyn, and the scouring of the shire and I'd trade that for some bucket of baloney Hobbit part 2 movie any day.Falzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481333222029372752noreply@blogger.com
