Phew, where to begin. Well it certainly was very good - TTT is in many ways darker than the first movie in the trilogy; yet it\'s also somehow more epic. It takes off pretty quickly as it doesn\'t need to explain as much as in FOTR, although it means there isn\'t much of a \'beginning\' for those new to the series (but they shouldn\'t be watching TTT before FOTR anyway
).
The score is as good as in the first movie and we get to hear some new themes - mostly in regard to Rohan (or was that Gondor, can\'t remember
).
Gollum is a disgusting and pathetic creature and WETA did a splendid job on the CG. I would at times forget it was just a CG animated creature and not a real \'person\'. And other CG effects were done close to perfection too - the ents / Treebeard especially look pretty cool. And of course the MASSIVE armies are just that... massive. Very impressive, although I can\'t wait to see the fighting going on in Return of the King. The fights are mindboggling and do not fail to impress, even though I was lead to believe it was 45 mins of straight action - that\'s not quite the case as it cuts to less action-filled moments inbetween, but still impressive nontheless. Excellent work by everyone involved.
Don\'t miss this one. It\'s grand, magnificant, epic. I\'m sorry that I can\'t really do it justice with my words.
5 stars out of 5
