pizzaman100's Journal: Return of the King

This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. Having stated that, there were a few annoyances I had with the movie.

1) They turn Denethor into a complete prick. In the book, Denethor is a good and honorable man who goes mad because he is under too much pressure contesting the will of Sauron. The movie doesn't portry this. It makes him out to be selfish, a glutton, power hungry and cruel.

2)Gandalf is a character who should always moral and above the board. However, in the movie he begins to use an ends-justify-the-means approach. He usurps control of Gondor, and doesn't consult anyone else in the city.

Other than that, I thought the movie was stellar. Arwen was annyoing at times again, but she wasn't in the movie much. I understand why they cut out the "scouring of the Shire", but that would have been cool to see too, as it shows how the hobbits are now able to take care of themselves. Overall I give it 5 stars out of 5. :) *****
