Lord of the Rings, The: Book VI – The End of the Third Age

Review by mullholland665 — July 23, 2010 @ 7:35 am

Not my fave chapter in this DVD series so far, perhaps because by necessity it is so short. But as a flow-on from Book 5 it’s great. Lots of little changes to the sequences in Mordor add up to quite a different viewing experience.

This part gets 8/10 from me. But the whole 6-part series gets 10/10. Bravo Kerr!

Others don’t seem to worry about the continuity errors. I do. Biggest problem for me is that it comes off as a real movie, but does not at all get close to Peter Jackson’s original, which was fantastic and in itself flawless. If the intention was to create a workprint of how LOTR would have looked if it was closer to the books, it should look like one and present itself as one. Now it is just the lesser version of the original. Closer to Tolkien? Probably, but not better.
I don’t get it why people are praising these edits so much.

Just a short review here…
I have seen and enjoyed all of Kerrs book edits, this is the end of a very well done fanedit series.
10 out of 10 … he successfully did what he set out to do and i will add this version of LoTR to my shelf along side Peter Jackson's.
Excellent :-)

10/10 for this very well made book VI, and for completing such a wonderful work on the whole series.
