Anime
The Deer King
So I finally got around to watching this and it’s ok, at least the story makes enough sense to work and there is some solid location design at times but it might have been the worst time to watch it because the night before I watched a film that very few films could hold a candle to.
Non Anime
Lord of the Rings Return of the King.
What’s there to say other than the fact that this is one of the greatest live action films ever made, the incredible action sequences, the dynamic between Frodo and Sam, as well as all the other characters, the iconic moments and dialogue, the phenomenal soundtrack and also the fact that this film effortlessly breaks the threequels curse by upping the stakes with each and every film and just getting better and better, also it may be one of the longest films out there, running a fair bit over 3 hours but it rarely feels like it is too long, also the ending is one of the best that modern cinema has ever put out, they simply don’t make films like this anymore and that’s a tragedy.
Lord of the Rings The Two Towers and Fellowship of the Ring.
I’m putting these two together because a fair amount of what is said about ROTK applies here albeit on a smaller scale, these are still excellent films but they really are building up to Return of the King, regardless this is one of the greatest film trilogies of all time.
