The Ending

Did anyone think that the ending after the big battles had taken place was way too long? It seemed like the movie was about to end five different times. They should have cut some of the ending parts out. Not completely, put them back in the extended edition. The first time I saw it I was crying through the whole ending because I knew it was over, and I'd never see the characters again. But I took my brother and saw it a second time, and then I thought the ending was drug out. About the fouth time I thought it was going to end(the part with the ship) it then showed Sam. The guy next to me was really liking the movie but then it came to that exact part and he was like what the f***. People were getting up, and then had to sit back down. Don't get me wrong though, I liked it. I thought it was the best movie I ever saw. What do you think.

I got the opposite impression. It seemed a little rushed to me.

Don't get me wrong - it was fantastic, but I felt that there wasn't enough detail...roll of EE😄😄😄

Maybe they should have made the transition into different scenes better. The screen kept going black or white and the music sounded like it was ending, and then all of a sudden it would pop back up for something else. A lot of people were annoyed in my theater and were sighing and saying things like whens it going to end? The people in my theater didn't not like the film. They were clapping and stuff to a whole bunch of different parts. It was just the end.

I thought that worked quite well, although, yes, I was beginning to wonder whether the film was going to end or not!!

For my part, I was hoping it wouldn't end at those points, thinking stuff like "don't end here, this wouldn't be a good end" .. especially after Mount Doom, for me it was 3-4 times : yeah, it doesn't end 🙄

But some guy next to me , and his friends were indeed saying things like "When does it end?" (I wondered several times, why in hell did they go to the (premiere) midnight showing, like they were not that interested)

Well i like the ending, but maybe is gonna be good end, if arwen and aragon get married then they all got together or seen its other again..lol...i dont know..but its really good..and i'm sad coz its all over

Yes, I agree completely!!

I cannot wait for the EE!!

I think it was perfect! Some ppl were leaving as soon as the ring got destroyed, and got annoyed at the Sam point! But I loved it! Yu can even feel PJ did the turning to blk thing to give ppl the option on whether to stay or leave!....At least that's what it seemed like to me!

Just go in with your watch set for 3 and a half hours then the watch will go off when it ends or when its about to end.So you wont be anxious.

I didn't need to do that...I felt it was short! 😛

well from all the reviews ive read the "multiple endings" the film either suffers from them or it needed them seeing as it was ending 9 hours + of film. also it seems like a good compromise coz people who dont know the books think it might be too long and the people who know the books and know that the ring being destroyed is now were near the end might think its too short and wanted more detail (but of course i have to wait till 26th dec till i get to see it)

Oh, please don't think I didn't like it.

I thought that the ending was beautifuly done - I just think that because I have read the book, my expectations were higher than they were when I went to see FotR (before I had read it)...

the ending in the book was awesome. PJ had to pay homage to Tolkien's book.

i have seen the movie three times now, my third viewing I did leave right after the Ring was destroyed. I loved the ending dont get me wrong, I just didnt feel like seeing the tear jerking last 25 minutes.

lol, showing emotion is a good thing. should've stayed for the tears.

Yep a totally agree, the whole "fade to black" thing happened too much

it was a pleasant surprise for me as i was like no its ending and then it didnt. it probably was a little rushed but it had to be i mean people are complaining about things being missed out im surprised he got that much in

I agree with camellia I thought it was rushed. I mean you have to think about it from a trilogy point of view. This was not just the ending to one film it was the end to all three. If you really think about it there should have been even more to the ending but, I can wait till the extended edition. 🙂

Well put enya! (Although I didn't mind the whole fading-to-black-thing)

Oh, and DARKVIRUS? I LOVE your signature!!!
