Well, in what is undoubtedly the most awaited film since...well The Two Towers, after the agonizing 2 three-hour movies that preceeded this, this one had better deliver, and boy does it ever. In an unbelievable surreal world, these guys have really created something unlike anything Hollywood has ever seen. Never after being so besides myself that the ring still wasn't destroyed after the first movie did I think I would like the entire trilogy has much as I do.

I know I am a little late on this review, and that everyone has seen it already, but this movie is really beyond so many people's imagination, it's hard to even imagine that human beings were even capable of such a masterpiece. Best Picture at the Oscars this year? I doubt, if they haven't given it for the first two movies, they really can't justify giving it to this one unless there is really no other great movies this year. ( I haven't even seen any of the other Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture this year).

Anyways, this movie still has it's faults. There is still a handful of people I have no idea what they had to do with the movie, there were still some moments I drifted off because of dialogue scenes with too many big words ( and I'm not that slow!)

Well, this just might be the best movie this year, but there are still a few flicks I would like to see first... If you havent seen this one you are one sorry bitch. Go!!!

In short:
Comedy: A few comical comments
Violence/language: Lots of violence, no language
Nudity/sex: None
High Points: I dunno know...It's freaking awesome!!
Low Points: It is still 3 and a half hours, a few characters still seem redundant.

Rating: A-
