A very satisfying conclusion to an epic fantasy series. Fantasy has never been my preferred genre, but I managed to sit through all three of these - and at the midnight theater showings, no less, not to mention re-viewings after buying the movies. Nearly all fighting, this still managed to progress the characters and gives us an ending that had me going, "Wow... I'm really glad they did it that way." The multiple endings might have dragged on too far for some of the audience, but I found it wonderful to really be able to follow up thoroughly on all these characters I have come to know and love over the past three years. Definite thumbs up on this one.
