Rating of RotK - the best of the three

Dec 21, 2003 16:06

I wrote a huge, enormous entry, oh... two days ago? Yes. Then i accidentally deleted it. It was basically pre-RotK viewing thoughts and antici-paaation.

Yesterday, Christine, Nicole, and I went to watch it at the mall.
A note beforehand: RUN AWAY!!! looking around, i see many more coherent, spoilery reviews, so don't waste your effort here. I'll pretend it's just for myself. A reference for the next time i watch.

first off, me being the sappy blue that i am, i think i cried three or four times.

Merry and Pippin scenes all fell under categories of adorable or POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RIP MY HEART IN TWO. Pippin calling for Merry as he and Gandalf ride away. Neither sure when they will see each other again. yes, i cried for them. yes, i'm pathetic.

Frodo and Sam - cried for Sam. cried for Frodo - the scenes before and after the destruction of the ring, remembering the Shire and the taste of strawberries, the feel of water and trees - phenomenal.

the charges - AMAZIN'
Theoden's ending after Eowyn's courage.

Legolas - mandatory obvious line and girly outfit.

what else was mandatory? oh! Peter Jackson's child! of course!

beacons lighting was breathtaking and oh-so-powerful.

things to look for next time:
P.J.'s cameos
Frodo's finger at the end

Sorry, but it's hard to think of words to describe something so saturated with emotion and story and power and... everything, really.

there was also more admiration of the Disney store and gorgeous posters at Suncoast.

I think it's just plain mean of them to stick a enormous, SHINY, bordered, map of ME out there and price it at twenty five dollars more than i can afford to spend. I also fell in love with the huge, cinema-poster sized, RotK poster for marginally less.

things of the in-joke nature:
four-fingered Frodo
BOTH Nicoles have TB. Christine is next. *HAAACK*
R to the AWR = R to the RAW

*pines for the leather wrist band/cuff/bracelet she received for christmas and lost not more than TWO HOURS later*

still on skip squintillion of the flist.
*shakes fist like a Polaroid*
