And so the quest ends after 3 years....

Man, if anyone denies that Return of The King was the best movie ever, they better be fucking kiddin me.

The mega battle scenes, sound effects, costumes, special effects, graphics, i can go on n on, they better win all these for Oscars. I realised later that the whole movie came close to 200 minutes but even when the main story had ended, I actually felt like wantin to watch more. the endin was a little subtle, I just hoped that they would make it a little better, than just showin Frodo leaving n showin Sam's thoughts livin in the Shire. If I were the director, I would recapture the moments from the whole trilogy and hav Galadriel sayin stuff like 'So marked the end of the third age of Middle-Earth, and the whole Middle-Earth reigned in peace' blah blah blah. But of coz, I wouldnt doubt Peter Jackson's decisions and ideas, I'm quite sure that was the fitting endin to an enormous trilogy the world has ever seen.

You know, I've been amazed by the general tactics of the riders of Rohan. When they attack, its the masses of Horses just homing inbound and just crushin everythin that comes in its way. They did that when the reinforcements came in the Battle of Helm's Deep in Two Towers and they did it again at Gondor. Its just so cool when the camera backs off a little to show two armies clashin against eachother and you see the horses just walking over the enemy.

The way that the dead soldiers of Gondor swept through the enemy was quite cool. haha, i was laughin at the part when one of the Uruk-Hai or an Orc was sayin 'Always late' or somethin n when Aragorn jumped out of the ship, the expression the Uruk-Hai portrayed... I was like, yea, yea!

I would give 7 stars out of 5 for the movie, but somewhere in my mind, I had expected for a much better one. I guess I had too much expectation for the finale. But it was already good enough, I have nothin to complain. Maybe I didnt feel the maximum effect coz we were sittin at like second row from the front. Yea, its only the fourth day, so cant say much, we went there around 1830 to find out 1830 and 1930 shows were sold out. then we queued up for the 2030 one, even that only has first few rows in the front available. but heck, we just took it. it was a lil better than when I watched Fellowship, where Paulina n I were sittin three rows from the front too. but that we really had to look up. Last night was better coz of inclinin seats, wasnt so bad for the neck.

The council guys ah... haha, lot of nonsense. Especially Kuan Sian, and why am I not surprised. He told us stuff bout the gay nite in the bar that he works at, the funny stuff that happened, n durin the movie, we would b crackin all sorts of shit. haha, i think the best of the night was when Legolas came in when Frodo finally woke up n he was goin like 'whoa, he's damn good lookin, what conditioner he use arh?' Eugene told us after the movie (those two went to the toilet n found two very nice seats furthur up in the theatre.. dammit..) we just burst out laughin like never before. I guess Liang Fu's head was quite interestin, the guys were makin fun of it like growin a plant in lower sec science. but it really looked like tt. Man, Liang Fu's combined injuries for Soccer and Rugby's real bad. my bodily pains must be peanuts compared to what he's feeling. gash on the face, horrible bruise by the clash wit Joshua, and that stitches on his head. and i thought my backache was bad.

managed to catch the last bus ride of 174 to make it safely home. man, yesterday was a real good day.

before i went in to the theatre, i saw this guy sellin the merchandise version of the one ring for 20++, i think i'll pop down and get that. it looks real nice. only prob, unlike the movie, its silver ring instead of gold. but its like so hard to get the actual replica, u can only get it on eBay now n thats already quite ex. settle for the best for now, its got the engravin n a holder that can glow like magma. worth it? i dont care, im gettin it. its the three best movies ive ever seen, and probably no movie will come close to matchin this spectacle. much like what my dad's generation went through wit the Star Wars trilogy.

What are the series we have seen in the recent years... Matrix, Harry Potter, Marvel comic-turned-into-movies, but only Matrix and LOTR actually continued one story from another. But i still think that they should hav left the Matrix alone and not make Reloaded and Revolutions. I think they did it purely for profit. Reloaded and revolutions complicated the story altogether. the first one gave a clear cut passage into such a brand new idea n concept n totally blew us off. that was enough. even to this day, the only point i like about the sequels are the high way scene and Zion's final battle. other than that, im not really impressed. on the other hand, im impressed by every single scene in the first one. i can recall scene by scene. god knows how many times ive watched that movie. esp the Neo Morpheus matchup and the lobby scene.

but that doesnt compare to the LOTR combined. thats just it. piece of history we all witnessed first hand. i dont really think anythin can come close to it unless some drastic entertainment technological advancement takes place in the near future that enables us to be surrounded by the movie, givin us 360 degrees view of the battle scene, that of course, someone decided to enhance the already impressive LOTR battle scene. but even if that were to take place, i think we would all b like 70 or 80 n probably might die from heart attack coz the battle scene is too breathtaking.

yes but for now n for next 20 or 30 years (I hope), Lord of The Rings hail this modern-earth (be it left-earth or right-earth, whatever Lionel...)
