I'm going to watch LOTR - Return of the King. Talk me out of it.
Just purchased on DVD. Getting ready to throw it in and waste 3.25 hours of my life.

1. It's not as good as the other two.
Still, better than Return of the Jedi.

7. Yeah. Still the best segments are the best of the trilogy.
Unfortunately, the worst of the trilogy is in there too.

10. Are they planning on releasing one?
an extended version?

I have to admit. I saw the first of the trilogy, and wasn't too impressed. I didn't see the second one, but have read a lot about it, and it seems to be quite a masterpiece according to many.

12. You brave man
I nearly got thrown out of the theater for laughing at the first movie. (My mother of all people was egging me on). Saw 40 minutes of the second film before giving up.

So predictable, so taking-itself-too-seriously. Just my opinion.
