2) Thanks to a series of industry screenings, I've had the opportunity to see the final Lord of the Rings movie...and for those wondering, it's spectacular. I loved the first one and considered it a masterpiece; wasn't quite as happy with the second one, which I felt (and despite some corrections made via the extended cut, still feel) that it suffered where it diverged from the book, and where it replaced story logic with movie logic.
But "The Return of the King" is magnificent on every level. There are times you feel you're looking at some forgotten history come to life, the imagery is almost painfully beautiful at times, breathtaking and awe-inspiring other times. I remember sitting there, thinking there are some things one feels priviliged to have lived long enough to have seen. This is one of them. It's brave, heroic, tragic, moving, funny, inspiring and wistful all at the same time.
So for those who were hoping for the best...your hopes will be realized. It's just freaking magnificent.

I visited it with friends from my study and a good old friend of me with whom I experienced important hard and nice happenings. The movie was really great for the feelings and she'd lost very much tears off her eyes.

Also, Agreed.
This is now, I think, the Perfect movie.
NEVER have I gone in with high expectations and left with even more love.
