This is only the beginning. 

My body is ready for Dune 2.

The weak link of the trilogy, but not by a far margin. Luckily the “you bow to no one” scene is so compelling, the 30 endings after that don’t completely sour that high. 

Also, I’m still convinced Frodo forgot Legolas’s name at the end.

Helm’s Deep. That’s it, that’s the review.

Fully convinced this is the best in the trilogy, for a few different reasons, but it’s Boromir’s arc that really makes this movie shine slightly brighter than the others. Profoundly tragic.
