LOTR-ROTK I've seen it!
Whooooooopi. Was one of the first few Singaporeans to watch LOTR before the actual release today. yesterday (wed, 17 Dec) afternoon, my colleague was looking for someone to watch the preview of LOTR with her. She got free tickets from her cousin, who was studying medicine in University. There was this special screening just for them (the medicine students & those in health care grp).
of cos there were "terms & conditions". The screening was at West Mall ( in Bukit batok) and start at 9pm. LOTR is usually more than 3 hrs, that means it will end past 12 midinght and I will have to take cab home. (remember 50% surcharge....).
Suddenly, how I wish i could drive & have my own car..... :P
Suddenly, memories of how my ex would rent car and send me home flooded my mind .....
When I reached there, found out that our seats were at the 2nd front row. By the end of the show, our heads were strained after tilting them upwards for more than 3 hrs. Had to call a cab home and the taxi fare was $18, more than the price of 2 movie tickets.
But is it worth it? YESSSSSSS, of course!
Not to be a "spoiler", i am not going to talk abt the storyline of the movie. For girls crazy abt Legolas, ha ha, there were lesser shots of him cos the focus is on the King (Aragon) ,& of cos, the Ring.
My rating for the movie:****** out of 5 stars.
Really had to watch on big screen.Cos you can really feel the impact of the huge stones catapulting, the tower crumbling and the marching of 20000 soldiers ( including the ugly orgs, eek).
Will try to catch it for a second time some weeks later... Oh yah, must remember to check out the net for some movie-mistakes and try to spot them next time. keke.
