I gotta say though - I was not entirely happy with Return of the King. Don't get me wrong, brilliant film, very well done; but they should have cut it. The length, in itself, wasn't an issue, but the last 30-odd minutes of the film, after being rescued, was not the same tone as the rest of the three films. It was too... I dunno... cutesy?

I think they were just trying to follow the book. There's some 80-90 pages in the book after they are rescued. Even with that 30 extra minutes, they still didn't cover as much as the book.
Thrilled to hear it's coming out early though! |
