after i saw the animated version of lord of the ring by ralph bakshi and i be pretty upset . now that i have see the animated version of return of the king and bakshi version seem like oscar material compare to this drudgery . i be sure enough people have see the new version of lord of the ring to know that it not impossible to make a good film adaptation of the book . however and it be mind boggle to wonder how and why the people that make return of the king couldn not come close to make it even remotely enjoyable . there be no cohesion to the story and a the movie start out with frodo and company sit around and talk about how glorious their victory be . what victory . the movie just start . then we see the hobbit run around mordor without any understandable explanation to how they get there . grant and i read the book and know why and but you can not just leave the narration so open end like that . i need to take this next paragraph to smash on the music alone . it be so horrible . i want to smash myself for let my ear be rap with such aural torture . the story have some make up character call the minstrel of gondor sing most of the narration and and therefore we hear repeat line such a why do he have nine finger . on the soundtrack . this be probably the most deplorable movie i have see in a very long time . i would recommend it only to those who need to understand what a bad movie really be . 1 10 scale overall 2 direction 2 animation 3 music 1 story 4 .
