I love it. Haven't seen all of it really yet, But I will soon enough. Maybe next week. But I think one of my favorite scene in the movie is when Theoden, King of Rohan shows up to help Gondor in their darkest hour.
The scene right before and during the march towards the thousands of Orcs... Something about the marching scene gets me everytime. Like Braveheart, so motivating....
The re-occuring theme in Lord of Da Ring is that in the hour hopelessness, hope returns. Just when you are about to give up, help arrives. I think that is what I like so much about the whole series. The hope. The hope of good triumphing over evil. That is faith... I love how all the noble characters's faith are challenged, and I love the realistic characters in the movie.
Though I love Star Wars trilogy very much, LOTR trilogy is also pretty amazing. I really appreciate Peter Jackson(director) and his vision so much more than that jack-ass George Lucas. There is reasoning behind LOTR extended editions vs. Star Wars Special editions of whatever you wanna call it. Each LOTR Extended Editions are like 4 hours long and cannot possibly be shown at theaters. Too long. Though there much profit that New Line Cinema made, that wasn't the only motivating factor behind it. Whereas, Lucas brings out new versions of Star Wars every other year. Just to make more $$$. Lucas is so hate-able.
George Lucas ruined the Star Wars legacy with the Episode I and Episode II. I hope Peter Jackson will not go down that path..... And I hope that Episode III will be good. (As much as I do not like George Lucas and would hate to see hime make more profit)
