Return Of The King

Good points: Celtic knotwork on tents, plausible plate armour, funky trebuchets, and the Orcish Reichsmarschall had nasty inflammation and chapped lips. Bernard Hill should be acclaimed the next Star Trek captain (nobody else acted much). Mega battle scenes masterpieces of rendering. Saw it on Screen 13, which is the largest multiplex screen in the UK! Looked fab!

Bad points: "Excuse me, that wasn't in the book". Hobbits still far too gay. It wasn't nearly messy enough when the Nazgul King's flappy thing had its head chopped off. Scottish dwarf saying "laddie" all the time, oh dear. No Wormtongue. Oathbreakers looked like unscary green ooze when they pitched in. Ice cream too cold.
