    I was not impressed with the nerdish fanatic fanfare surrounding the prior releases of LOTR. I actually disliked that last two films. However, I found the last chapter better than I anticipated. I would not be surprised if the Academy of Motion Pictures award PETER JACKSON an oscar as BEST DIRECTOR. Thecnically this picture is flawless. I was impressed by the magnitude of special effects (ghost army ~ spiders) found in this chapter. The set designs are detailed. The score is perfectly suited for the images and texture of this film. The level of character development achieved with the final chapter is a nice surprise. SEAN ASTIN delivers a nice, touching supporting performance as the "chubby Hobbit". The final frames of this film are superior to the "open ends" in the first two episodes. However, this film does not deserve the tilte as best film of the year (although fans & LOTR nerds tend to scream that it is the best film ever... ) but in my opinion, it's better than the first two chapters. One note:on a large screen this is not a film recommended for children under the age of 8. The scences with killer spiders and the ghost army may be more than any child can handle.
