I'm much happier about how amazing it was than I am upset that it's all over. And no number of great words uttered about its amazingness can sum up how great I felt while walking out of the theater earlier today. I am speaking, of course, of all three movies and have decided it would be unfair of me to claim a favorite among them. Even though each is a distinctly different film. What a cop out.
It is, however, worth a mention that, near the end of the third film, to which I went at 7:30 today and saw with my family, I felt a twinge of considerable significance (This isn't a spoiler because the films are based on material extant for almost fifty years): As Frodo, Pippin, Sam and Merry all returned to the Shire, I realized, once more, how great it is to be home. I've missed all this.
Shut up. I relate to movies. Leave me alone. Dick.
Peace.
