The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King Reviews

To all you haters off CGI out there....
Why is the fact that LOTR contains CGI shots an excuse for some people giving it a low rating? Imagine you were Peter Jackson, and you are called to direct a scene where twenty 50 foot high elephants are charging at the camera, with 6000+ horsemen charging from behind. How could you possibly film that without CGI? Imagine directing the Battle of the Pellenor Fields without CGI. What would you have the director do? Cast 500'000 extras to stand in formation for weeks of shooting, or create the whole scene in an hour using the 'sinful' computer?

I would like to see all the people who rated this film 1-star because it used CGI try to film a tower the size of Barad-Dur collapsing with a 1000ft volcano erupting in the background in real life, without a computer. It CANNOT be done, so don't have a go at the directors for using CGI methods.

ps. To all the insanely politically correct people who moan at the film because there are no 'goodies' who are black. I happen to find the scene where Saruman the WHITE goes over to the dark side EXTREMELY offensive, because it insults my race, and had such an effect on me that I cried in a darkened room for days.

pps. (The previous sentence should be read with the maximum degree of sarcasm physically possible.)

BEST MOVIE EVER!
What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's perfect! Pne thing I would like to add. Someone said that gollum should have been played by a real actor. He was! Andy Serkis completly acted the part. Gollum's expersions are his. They just altered his appearence.
