My wife and I, and EVERYONE we know in the area who saw RoTK were thrilled; those who had read the Tolkien trilogy were even more impressed having felt that Peter Jackson came very close to recreating Tolkien's literary ending without sacrificing necessary film pacing. BTW, in case you never read the trilogy, the final book is somewhat anti-climactic in the manner of the film. Had Peter Jackson omitted those sequences fans of the books would have been outraged. Some folks apparently have difficulty with the lengthy conclusion after the One Ring is cast into the fires of Mount Doom, and I respect that, but speaking for myself and those of us who enjoyed this series it wound down very nicely.Our opinions are apparently 180 degrees opposite in respect to RoTK.
