I Have Seen It
Orangeblossom

Last night, no never mind it would have been this morning at 12:10 that I saw Return of the King. I loved it, plain and simple. I will need to see it again. This morning I just watched for pure enjoyment, and I was enjoyed. I missed Saruman, but it was dealt with cleanly, I believe. I was crying at certain parts, mainly when the good guys were dying. I was very happy when Rohan came and when Aragorn came. The ending of the Hobbits coming home to the Shire was nice, it was done well, even without the scouring. I did not see the Wild Men, I thought they had them leading the Riders to Gonder. At the end I was thinking what about Legalos? Is he staying and dying like Arwen? Even through I know he stays and lives with Gimli after Aragorn dies, I wanted to know. I wanted to see Sam kiss Rosie in the inn. Oh well seeing them married was perfect. I loved when Legalos killed the omliphant and Gimli said that only counted as one. Into the West was not as bad as the snippet sounded. I noticed that it was Gimli, not Fordo who handed the crown to Gandalf. There is so much more, but my brothers want to make Christmas cookies. Overall I am pleased with Return of the King. Giggles and smiles, I loved it. The time of men began and it was a good ending to the magic.
