I LOVE this movie! So amazingly wonderful. Need I say that Legolas is awesome? I love Shadowfax too! i liked that Aragorn became the rightful king of Gondor, and the ring gets destroyed. Sad ending though. It was sad that the elves leave middle earth along with Frodo, gandalf, and Bilbo. overall I think this was a wonderful movie! I actually own the special extended version of all three, so I actually haven't seen the non extended one. i am just going off the one i have seen. AMAZING MOVIE!

This is a wonderful movie!!!!!! I'm so glad that they made an extended edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the non extended edition you half to just guess what happens to Sorroman. But in the extended edition they show much more!!!!!!!But the non extended editon is still outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the second (or third )scene was funny with Merry and Pippen!!! I also thought that the part were Legolas took down the Olifant was totally awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME! Aragorn has an awesome double door entry!

Frightening or Intense Scenes: what erry29 said. and there is one kiss at the very end. don't let that be a deterrent from you watching the movie. greatly recommended!

Violence: several battle scenes, and the battleground littered with bodies.

"The Way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The Way is shut."

I know this isn't in this movie, it is in the Two Towers (also an awesome movie) but I love it! Gimli: Legolas, I have 2 already! Legolas: 17! Gimli: I will not be beaten by an elf!

Gandalf: Fool of a Took!

Theoden; Little Hobbits do not belong in war. Merry; All my friends have gone to battle. I would be ashamed to be left behind. Theoden; It is a three days ride to Minas Tirith and none of my riders can bear you as a burden. Merry; I want to fight! Theoden; I will say no more. Eowyn; Ride with me. Merry; My lady!

Aragorn; You ride with us? Eowyn; Just to the encampment. It's tradition for the women of the court to farewell the men. The men have found their leader. They will follow you anywhere, even to death. You have given us hope.

Eowyn; I dreamed I saw a great wave, climbing over green lands and above the hills. I stood upon the brink. It was utterly dark in the abyss before my feet. A light shown behind me, but I could not turn. I could only stand there waiting.
