This is the most perfect ending to the trilogy anyone can ever make into a movie. Peter Jackson did an amazing job (and that's really just an understatement) in bringing Tolkien's epic trilogy to life. It is suitably poignant at times and that is in fact what made me connect with the movies, not the battle scenes. Peter Jackson fully captured the obscured intentions of Tolkien and enhanced them with a great score, great cast who are amazingly talented actors and actresses, great setting, and great visual effects.
The show fully deserved every last one of the eleven Oscar awards it earned. I think in everyone is a desire to find their own Shire, and we often create a Middle Earth that mirrors our lives. And this is perhaps why it is so easy to connect with the storyline and the relatable characters (flawed as anyone can be). I'm 18, and a girl who's into Vogue magazines. But I'm a great fan of this show and it's my favourite movie of all time (of course, eye candies like Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen were a bonus!). 'Fantastic' does not even come close to describing the show. It is out of this world. Kudos (and lots more than that) to Peter Jackson for his stellar directing skills.
Twilight is, as described countless times before, a gothic romance novel, wherein plain Jane high-schooler Bella falls for the beautiful and mysterious vampire Edward Cullen. Their love for each other is transcendent, but also fraught with danger, as Edward is always after Bella's blood and has to exercise (admirable) self-control to prevent himself from killing the girl he loves, and the girl whom he has waited for his entire life.
Complications soon arise as nomadic vampires are introduced. These vampires roam all over the world for new blood, new prey. And one of them, James, is a tracker who is immensely hooked onto Bella as she is the one human girl whom Edward fiercely protects. The great action scene ensues between the two scarily powerful vampires, and is the high point of the movie (apart from the tender romantic scenes that are in no way overtly R-rated).
This is a must-watch for all teenage girls who yearn for their happy ending, and an of-course-I'll-be-watching-it for all fans of Twilight around the world.
