I feel silly reviewing this film since only someone who has lived under a rock in the middle of Mongolia has not seen or at least heard the basic reviews of this film, let alone the entire trilogy. But! It has been so long since my previous post that might as well start with one of the most popular trilogy's of all time. (The original Star Wars trilogy is still the very best by FAR, no arguments allowed.)
201. That's the running time on our beloved 2004 winner. As in, 201 minutes. I really shouldn't seem to hate a movie so much that seemed to change a landscape of film and that really put "nerdy stories" into the mainstream pop culture. I fear I may need to re-watch it at some point and consider my opinions again. After watching all of the extended versions in dorm rooms with my friends... I may have to wait another 10 years before I can stomach it again.
To be fair, LOTR: RotK won best original song (Annie Lennox - "Into the West") which would always make me well up like a cheap sponge. And best original score, because Howard Shore. Truly was a movie that deserved to win, I'm just being a sore blogger :)
Until next time, thank you Academy #75
