I like the romantic side of the movie between the elvish girl and the guy. Im having a memory block and can't remember the names.
Their names are Aragorn and Arwen.

Let me just say that as a movie The Return of the King is good. I enjoyed it. But to me it’s just a rip off J.R.R. Tolkiens Return of the King. Sure it is a beautiful movie. The backgrounds are amazing and the characters gorgeous. But when you alter a story so much over the course of 10 hours it just doesn't feel right. The ending is shameful to what is written in the book. The battle scenes are inaccurate. They don't even go into depth about the palantir. Beregond is not even mentioned.

I see nothing about this movie that makes it great. What is so great about it? The production of this movie was terrible. There are so many things that go unexplained it is frustrating to see that there is no attempt to try and explain them. Which is amazing considering the movie drags on and on at the end. Never would I have imagined that I would want to leave the theatre during the movie. But I couldn't wait till it was finally over.
