It's been really busy lately. Christmas stuff has been going on the past couple days so I haven't had time to sit at my computer. I saw Return of the King tonight. I didn't really like it much. Talk about over dramatic. I rolled my eyes many times. I liked Fellowship of the Ring a lot, but the last two just didn't do it for me. This one was filled with unnecessary pauses and redundancies. I couldn't wait for it to end, and I thought it never would. The battle sequences were nice, but they didn't make up for the rest of the movie. All but about one percent of the Internet community is proclaiming this the best movie ever. I don't see why. It seemed like a fourth of the movie was in slow motion. Another fourth was simply shouting to the audience, "HEY! I'm a big, important movie!" Special effects do not necessarily equal a good movie, just as excessive slow motion sequences do not necessarily make art. Overall, Return of the King was an average movie. It's ego brought it down a notch. I think it was all the cheese...made it bloated. Cheesy and bloated it certainly was, accounting for another fourth. That leaves twenty-five percent of tolerability. I'm probably being too hard on it, but that's okay because everyone else is going overboard with the praise. I did like, though, when they went into that cave and met the pirates of the Caribbean.
