Review:
I decided to just review all three movies together ... I mean.. I don't think I could think of 3 different sets of things to say for three awesome movies that are supposed to be one long movie anyways.. :)

But.. If you haven't seen these.. then.. you need to!
And make sure you only see the director's extended versions. But make sure you fast forward through any part with Liv Tyler in it...... :/
She bothers me, and she really, really bothers me in these movies. I wish they would have picked anyone else for the part than her. Okay, enough about her, I could go on all day about her role in the movie....

The rest of the cast... they couldn't have picked a better cast.
And my female crush is my most favorite character in the movie... Miranda Otto as Eowyn! She is such a beautiful, strong character.

But anyways ... make sure you see it..! :)
Possibly one of the best directed movies ever. Can't say enough great things about how Peter Jackson handled these films. And if you have the chance, make sure you watch all the extra material on the DVDs.

Three of the best films ever made.
