In Reply to: Just saw LOTR The Return Of The King....I've seen all 3 now and I must say that... posted by TWB on February 23, 2004 at 22:17:41:
I've got the Indiana Jones set; it hasn't aged as well as I thought it would. I still like Spielberg's Indiana Jone's movies, but LoTR is worlds away from the now-dated Indy flicks; I think that it's Harrison Ford's acting that I'm finding bothersome, in retrospect. BTW, I expect (i.e., hope) my appraisal will be the exact opposite of Lucas's Star Wars saga, ironically enough, but only because of the abysmal quality of the prequels.Personally, I loved LoTR: RoTK, including Frodo fighting with Gollum for possession of the Ring over the lava of Mount Doom and the mildly anti-climactic winding down of the story through a sequential follow-up of the central characters. Those who are avid Tolkien fans would've probably found any abrupt ending without the episodic aftermath unsatisfying.
