And the saga goes on, 3 January 2004
Author: valadas from Caldas da Rainha, Portugal

Yes it goes on portraying the everlasting fight between Good and Evil in gorgeous images and breathtaking scenes. However in my opinion this 3rd part is not so imaginative and creative as the two previous ones. It's even a bit recurrent in that matter. Well but the fantastic scenery is captivating enough to rivet your attention permanently. This whole story recreates an atmosphere of Middle Ages in some planet other than Earth since it has no references to history or geography of this World even in what concerns legendary events. It combines a bit of science fiction with the atmosphere of King Arthur-like legends. The names of places and people have sometimes a Welsh or Gaelic resonance and flavour but that's all. But at least one hollywoodesque kiss lips to lips could not be avoided anyway. This movie's wonder also arises from the contrast of beauty and ugliness (the elves and the monsters for instance). As a matter of fact according to aesthetics the horrible can also be beautiful sometimes. The question that arises now is if this saga is still to continue or if we have seen the end of it.
