well i finally finished Return of the King last night.
holy cow what a long movie.
this new blu-ray set is one of the most glorious home viewing experiences i’ve ever had. it looks amazing. it sounds amazing. i might have to watch them again this 4th of July weekend.
there are so many details i’ve never noticed before. especially on some of the Rohan and Gondor armor. i haven’t watched these since the last release of Return of the King extended edition on DVD. i think i’ve finally to a point where the differences from the book don’t bother me as much. i think this viewing was the first time i really enjoyed it as a complete set of stand-alone films and not as a retelling of a literary work. it’s the most enjoyable experience i’ve had watching these movies.
