I'm going to have to digress from this lovefest and admit that I was a little disappointed. It's pretty good movie, but maybe expectations were too high. The pace is plodding and it much harder to get involved with the story than the last two. The changes Pete made from the book were much more intrusive than the past ones (which really didn't bother me) and the climax was downright hokey and completely out of place. I really felt left down when it was over.

Well, anyway, still glad I saw it and overall I still think the movies were good adaptations of the books... but ROTK is merely good, not great.
