Got a chance to go see the last movie in the trilogy on Friday.

We considered trying to go Weds. night, or even to the midnight showing on Tuesday night.. but Kael was not cooperative.

So we went to a matinee on Friday… and all I can say is DAMN! it was an awesome movie. Good Special Effects, good acting, good script. Hopefully this one will get Peter Jackson a Oscar for Directing… but.. probably not, since we all know that the MPAA doesn’t like giving Oscars to Sci-Fi or Fantasy movies (the ‘technical’ Oscars don’t count).

Back to the movie:

Even with the differences between the books and the movies (all 3 of them) Overall, the trilogy did a very good job bringing the story to the screen. The battle scenes in “Return of the king” were amazingly well done. Even the “cheesy” special effects looked good.

Definitely a must see.
