Get out and go see it.

Get the largest soda and popcorn you can muster - long flick (3+ hours!!!)

It's the best of the three-part series. You won't be disappointed.

Goosebumps and all kinds of emotions.

Bittersweet ending(s).

Good to hear, because i read a luke warm review on it. Gald you liked it because now i'm pumped to see it. what about Master and Commander with Crowe as captain? any good?

fishweewee · 12-17-2003, 08:09 PM

Most of the reviews I've read were glowing.

Anyone who can't feel the epic scope of this film must be retarded.

In any event, RUN to see the flick, I ducked out of work early today to see it. Worth it.

M&C was awesome, saw it on X-giving day.

Even Roger Ebert (who was lukewarm on Gladiator) said this was a masterpiece, and I agree with the fat bastard. Good performance by Russell Crowe.

Off I go. Better bring a urine jar though. I remeber Part II, i had to go but i didn't want to miss a scene. Can't wait untill it's out on video for these films. The big screen experience. I hear thwe same about master annd commander--it aint going to be the same on the TV. I got to skip out on work myself it seems.

I liked the big elephants. Did I say I hate spiders!? found a big spider in my waders once... almost had a heart attack as it ran up my leg. That being said, the spider scene didnt go over so well wwith me.

Definitely one of the Masters. I still remember him from those 60's/70's Dracula movies.

Only Lee can do a credible Count Dookoo!

chris L · 12-19-2003, 08:19 PM

second time better than the first . yup thats where I remember him from too .

pure genius .

rocketman · 12-19-2003, 10:08 PM

I didn't like either of the first two films, I will pass on this one.

beachwalker · 12-20-2003, 07:43 AM

Theres always one in the crowd..............

Raven · 12-20-2003, 08:04 AM

I read a short story about Liv Tyler that she spoke of in an e-mail. She was staying over at some friends house in England with her husband Roy and her friends had some young boys.
She awoke hearing the boys going from bedroom to bedroom looking in. Apon finding their door ,she heard one boy tell the other....NO don't open that door!, the PRINCESS is sleeping in there!
it was at that moment she realized the impact the movie had.

TheRattBoy · 12-20-2003, 12:04 PM

What a story!, saw the final movie last night with my son and we were not disappointed.It's movies like these you HAVE to see in the theatre to get the full feeling of, the scenes and effects were incredible, as was the story itself.
"Dad were you crying?","no, were you?"
