Well, I just got back from the theather and I saw ROTK. I'm not going to write an essay post on my thoughts about the film. Because If I were to do that I might expend the rest of my evening writting tons and tons of paragraphs on how much I LOOOOOOVE THIS FILM!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!! YEEEEHAAA!!!
Actually, I think TTT was best as well. I think ROTK was always going to have a hard time being based on the imperfect narrative of the novel and so it was.

Ok: The battle scenes are amazing, the built sets really give realism to the scenes, so do the thousands of extras. And the CGI is very well done.
I really connected with the characters for the 1st time (except Frodo). The actors are at their best in this one. Specially Viggo. He really surprised me with tis one.Of course Ian Mckellen is absolutely amazing and the guy that plays Pippin is also very good.
I think the only problem this movie has is that after the ring is destroyed it feels like it takes a long time for the movie to end.
Shame Cate Blachett's part is small cos she's an amazing actress!
The fellowship of the ring is my fave thou. The battle in Helms deep and Gollum is what saves TT. I havent scene all of the extras scenes from TT but they seem to really help. Specially the scenes with Boromir.
Yes, the Boromir/Faramir perspective from those scenes are certainly the most significant cuts PJ made- maybe even more significant than removing Saruman, because that oinly seems big as morwe Saruman was in the books, whereas removing the Boromir/Faramir scenes actually removed an important chunk of development for their characters as presented.
I think Fellowship was eqaully handicapped by the necessity of the slow start; the second half was very good.

Yes. Understanding a bit more the relationship between Boromir/Faramir and their father helps a lot.
I've never read the books so I cant judge the adaptation. And FOTR doesnt seem slow to me because I didnt new that world and had to be introduced. It was diificult for me to sit for 3hrs and some in TT. Something that didnt happen in FOTR and ROTK
TTT is very good but FOTR and ROTK are amazing...TTT didn't gave the feeling of be part of the story as the FOTR and ROTK.
Gollum and Sam are perfect. Viggo has a much complete work as Aragorn: I had my doubts about his acting but he is really a excelent Aragorn. And It is good to see Galadriel smiling

FotR is mostly storybuilding, with some action
TTT is mostly action with little storybuilding
RotK is a perfect blending of the two, and therefore is the best
i loved this movie more than any movie ever (well except the holy grail) but I think the begining with gollem could have been cut out and the extra long ending...they would have been great for the dvd.
My favorite is the whole pippen singing, Denethor eating and Faramir leading the charge scene. I cried my eyes out.
I just saw LOTR: Return of the king, and whoever said it's rubbish is rubbish!
It lived up to my expectations highly. If you want spoilers then highlight this if not then you better leave before you look without knowing what your doing.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The ring is not thrown into mount doom, it is carried down by gollum who falls down into the volcano after Frodo betrays the fellowship by the evil of the ring and puts it on his finger.
But Gollum gets it and then him and frodo have a little fight (a tiny fight acctually) and gollum falls in.
Then Sam gets married, Aragorn becomes king and then Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo leave.
