No need for a long explanation of what you gave it. That's what the other thread is for. It would be interesting to see what the general consensus is though.

I give it a 5/5. I loved it.

Falagar · 12-19-2003, 05:29 PM

Is there nothing between 4/5 and 5/5?

I loved it but it had some problems so I'll go for 4/5.

Arathorn · 12-19-2003, 05:33 PM

I think my standards are just set high what with PJ saying it's his favorite of the 3. A mixed bag but overall, good because I still enjoyed it (4/5).

I'm more excited about the Extended Edition.

Aewionen · 12-19-2003, 06:12 PM

I thought the movie was great! I give it a 5/5.

***Jonathan*** · 12-19-2003, 06:24 PM

It was a good movie so I'll give it a 4. I'm looking forward to the extended version.

jerseydevil · 12-19-2003, 06:32 PM

I gave it 3/5. It was an okay movie - but it wasn't a great movie - unless you think special effects make a great movie.

Elvengirl · 12-19-2003, 07:12 PM

I'd say it was a 4, while I do think most of it was awesome, there were scenes which I did not like.

Tuor of Gondolin · 12-19-2003, 09:30 PM

The movie, and the directors efforts, in ROTK was like the little girl with a curl in her hair:
for example: very good (Theoden's scenes), horrid (Denethor's).

Overall a 4/5.

hectorberlioz · 12-19-2003, 11:02 PM

i gave it a 3/5.
give due where its due.

Thuringwethil · 12-20-2003, 01:24 AM

The only real problem i had with it was that there was no Sharky and taking over of the Shire. Otherwise I loved it. I gave it a 5/5

BeardofPants · 12-20-2003, 01:29 AM

How funny. I hated fellowship, thought TT was okay, and following that trend, enjoyed ROTK mostly. There were quibbles (ending dragged, no emotional impact when Frodo left the Grey Havens, etc), but overall I enjoyed it. The battle sequences were amazing - very well choreographed and stuff. And Andy Serkis was good as Gollum. I was a bit sad that PJ didn't take the liberty of 'redeeming' Gollum at the end... kinda thought he might have after the build-up of TT. Oh well. Overall, I give this movie a 3.75 out of 5. Pretty decent.

If you had problems with it - then how can it be perfect?

I didn't say it was perfect I said I loved it. ^__^

Telcontar · 12-20-2003, 02:27 AM

Ehhhh...it was between 4.5 and 5.0 so I gave it a 5 (rounding). I could definitely look beyond the changes and deletions. From what's been rumored, if the EE is 5 hours, then I'm sure it will delight even some of the hardest critics. I'm really looking forward to some of the rumored additions.

Artanis · 12-20-2003, 07:11 AM

If you'd asked me wednesday evening straight from the theatre, I'd said 5. Now I say 4. Ask me again after a second viewing ...

Varda Oiolosseo · 12-20-2003, 11:35 AM

5/5 easily - absolutly fantastic movie!

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 12-20-2003, 12:44 PM

Sminty_Smeagol · 12-20-2003, 01:11 PM

I thought it was awesome. Sure I have little quibbles but the finale emotion affect was awe, for me atleast. Yeah there are little things they could have worked on, quite a bit of stuff that I didn't think was all that terrific, but it still far surpasses 'good' IMO. My favorite of the 3.... gave it a 5

Thuringwethil · 12-20-2003, 01:21 PM

I've seen it three times, a fourth today, and I still think it's perfect. It doesn't really get boring.
