juldeaSo I finally went downtown and saw Return of the King today. There were many awesome parts, but somehow I am left with an overall feeling that is not awesome. I mean yeah, it's great, but not mindblowing spectacular.
That could have to do with the fact that the fire alarm went off in the theater right at the height of the Minas Tirith battle (when Eowyn defends her uncle), the movie was delayed for about 20 minutes, and they didn't give any warning as to when it'd come back on so I missed some random amount of time in the midst of the movie (I came back when Merry found Pippin.. or vice versa... on the battle field). Grr.
I didn't think I was going to cry until the newly-crowned Aragorn looked up at Gandalf and smiled. I lost it then.
Faramir and Eowyn standing next to each other during the coronation gives me hope that their relationship will be explored in the extended edition.
Shelob rocked my socks.
