Return of the King

[RubyMutt]

I KNOW I'm not the only one who went to the midnight showing this morning!

How great was that?!? I can't get over it.... Peter Jackson is AMAZING! What did you all think of it?

I went with Margaret (veegan on PT), my boyfriend, and a few other people. So, I know you, Margaret, can at least give some imput ;)

Anyone have any special favorite moments? I know, it's so hard to choose just one. I don't want to say too much just in case people read this who haven't seen it yet and would like to eventually.

[slleipnir]

I hate you..! lol jk, that showing was sold out so I never got tickets :( I'm going on Friday and I -can't- wait!!!

[catland]

I plan to see it next week when I have the week off. I'll probably watch the DVD's of the first two before I go so that I'm all ready.

I didn't see the first two in the theater and I wish that I did. I won't miss this one.

We are planning to see it next week, when my hubby is home for a few days! We go with the children.:)

[tikeyas_mom]

Yes :)

Yeah, the showing we went to was sold out as well, but we made sure to buy our tickets way in advance :D One of the theaters in Seattle is going to show all three movies in a row. I CAN'T WAIT to go see it :D

I went to the midnight show, it was awsome! It was so crazy at the theater, when I bought my tickets online early in the morning, it was only playing on two screens. My friend and I checked later online to see if the show was sold out and they had added two additional screens! When we got there they added a 5th screen, all 5 screens were sold out! There must have been at least 1000 people running around the movie theater.

Not into those sort of movies so I doubt I'll watch it. But I did see on the news the line-ups there were for the movie. :eek: People were even dressed up as different characters. It reminded me of the whole Star Wars thing. Lol.

I just wanted to start a thread about it because I just came home from the cinema, and now I see you have already started one... :)

However, I'm totally overwhelmed and deeply impressed! But I'm also sad because this is the last one of the three movies.

I saw the original (english) version, so there weren't so many people in the theater and I got a ticket (you have to know, in Germany, movies are dubbed, but I don't want to see it with the German voices, it ruins the atmosphere IMO).

Several times I had tears in my eyes, and during the last 10 minutes, I couldn't help but crying all the time.

I have so many fave moments already (which I better do not mention to not to ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet), and I definitely have to see it again, at least one more time!

Peter Jackson did a wonderful, amazing job, and the three and a half hours passed in no time. And I'm still feeling like being under some kind of spell... :)

@tikeyas_mom: I have noticed before you named your rats after the hobbits - that's so cute! :)

AHHHHHHHHH! I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED! My dad and I are going to see it @ 6 o'clock! I have my kleenex box ready to go- I can't go with out it!

AHHHHHHHHH! SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED!

The book is awesome, so I can't wait to see what Jackson did with the movie!

Peter Jackson and the crew better get a lot of awards for this movie! And this movie better get an Academy award for best movie of the year! If it doesn't I am going to beat some sense into the people who choose the winners, and ask them if they were drinking when they made the decisions! :D :p :D :p

I have my kleenex box ready to go- I can't go with out it!

That's definitely true!! I forgot mine, which was a real mistake!

I have no idea what you guys are talking about (yes, I know it's a movie though) i've never heard of it. :o

It's the final movie adapted from the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy written by JRR Tolkien. (the first two being 'Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring' and 'LOTR - The Two Towers)

I agree, BRING TISSUES! It was a little embarrassing, getting all teary-eyed in the theater... I knew it would happen (I'm a HUGE fan of the books), so I did bring my tissues along. There were quite a few people dressed for the occasion at the theater we went to. It was neat. I wish I was creative enough to put some elvish costume together... Although I did wear my FOTR t-shirt ;)

This is the BEST movie of the year. No questions asked! I agree, they better get some recognition when it's time to pass out the Oscars. I'm sure I'll be seeing it again this weekend :rolleyes: :D

Well we have the midnight sessions here too and I have heard people were waiting in line from 8 am in the morning to get tickets, one of our radio Dj's said he came out of the movie so darn proud of Peter Jackson, and that it was filmed here in our country and felt really happy to have neat friends, in the morning he gave everyone a hug at the radio station., so I reckon if thats the kind of feelings it makes people have , then that is awesome.

I too want to see some awards going to Peter Jackson, I hate to say it, I have not seen any of the movies, but I will when they are all on video, I feel somewhat ashamed not to have seen them yet. actually one of my daughter's friends was a hobbit in the movie, of course we donot know which one unfortunatley.

I just got back from seeing it. OMG- I am in total shock. I can't think. The movie has stunned me. Must see it again. Must see it on Saturday. In shock. Love it. Can't think. In shock.


*Shock has passes*

All I can say is WOW. Wayyyyyyyyyy beyond what I could imagine. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. One bad thing is they left out a couple of key parts that were in the book. Hopefully they will be in the extended version!? The parts they left out where the parts that I really wanted to see, too. Other than that minor complaint, it is 100% awesome.

It's a good thing I brought my kleenex, I made it 3/4 of the way through the movie without crying! I am so proud of myself! :D After the 3/4ths it was major waterworks.

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it!!!!

My friend saw it yesterday, she said it was good. I still haven't seen it, but I'll go soon. :)

[tikeyas_mom]

The did an AMAZING job with Shelob. It is kind of nice having read the books before hand. During intense moments it calms you knowing how it turns out. Even still, the movie is very emotional. I still can't stop thinking about it! Must go see it again tomorrow!!! :o

EXCELLENT!! That's what I say. :D

I didn't see a midnight showing of it, since we were at a LOTR themed Banquet and Masquerade on Tuesday.

Instead we saw the Extended TTT and ROTK back to back on Wednesday. :)

Everyone in the theater laughed, cried, and cheered as one.

Eowyn taking on the Witchking.....that's one of my favorite scenes. :)

[Kirsten]

Eowyn taking on the Witchking

Yep!!! When the witchking said no man would kill him, and she replied "I am no man!" It was phantastic!!! :)

I actually wanted to go back to the theatre tonight and see it again, but I dislocated my neck very badly and I'm on meds, so I can't drive. Will watch "the Fellowship" on dvd now instread...
