A wonderful masterpiece that will surely give the Lord of the Rings series an Academy Award.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

The acting is amazing, the emotion unnerving, and the climax of an entire two years is here. I believe the nominations for Best Picture have been hints that the final episode of the Lord of the Rings will receive it at last. This film is a masterpiece, filled with every emotion, from fear to comedy, and everything in between. Some have said it dwindles. I disagree, if you think of the resolution being too long, just remember that it's the resolution for the end of three 3+ hour movies. It's pretty much expected to have a long resolve. But I do agree that all of these films are a wonderful representation of the books, and the Academy should seriously consider this as all of them combined in one film, and just give it an award. Anyone who's casually interested in movies, books, or just fantasy in general will enjoy, if not love, this movie. Highly recommended, notably honored.
