If there’s one thing above else to love about Jackson’s adaptations of Tolkien’s work, it’s the heart with which he enriches the characters relationships, not least those that have been created or elaborated on by himself, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. What’s important then is the way in which Mr Jackson sends off his Middle Earth cinematic opus and (just in case there was any doubt) he does so with power and spectacle. But there’s no such comfort this time (even if The Silmarillion does come in for adaptation, as it’s hardly a beloved narrative, despite its merits). At least when Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King’s credits rolled, there was always hope that director Peter Jackson and his team would return once more to the realm of Middle Earth.
After all, if you’re watching the final chapter, then chances are you’ve already invested heart and time into the story somewhere along the line. Reaching the conclusion of an epic series of films is always such a bittersweet moment. So here we are once more, at the end of all things.
