As always with my reviews, this is all strictly in my opinion, and personally, it doesn't matter how much you agree with it.

I loved it!

What to say, what to say?

1. Directing: Peter Jackson did quite a good job on this one, using ther style, and creating the mood in a similar way which he has done with the previous two. Crooked shots, and many wide angle shots. Very well done actually. In this movie, he mostly sets the major drama aside, and brings out the "grandness" of the film, and I am personally alright with that.

2. Acting: Acting superb, as always, with a special highlight of our CGI friend, Gollum. All the hobbits, acted fine, with some maybe overacting to go with it. Gandalf (Ian McKellen) pwned as usual, and in this movie, he traded his staff in for a sword for many of the fight sequences. Gimli, was his usual nutty self, providing comic relief, and Legolas was his usual, (not that good, but still cool) self, where he kicks orc and elephant ass with his bow. Aragorn, and the rest of the human friends are also doing superb, and I cannot complain about him or any other human at all. A peticularly moving preformance was done by Farameir.

Everything Else: Music, top notch as usual, composed by one of the masters of the movie music, Howard Shore. Cinematography, spectacular, which I would think may be in for an Oskar. Writing, its usual self, good, but not spectacular.

Im not going to give away anything, for those who have not seen it yet, but if you have not... Go now!
