Terrific conclusion to epic trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2003)

The concluding chapter in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy... this one continues the excellent production values and lush storytelling of the previous installments and wraps things up quite nicely... a shame really that the series has to end here.. the actors have really gotten into their parts by this time and the performances, particularly by Sean Astin are top flight... some terrific battles towards the end highlight the drama as well.. Not much to complain about, if i must quibble the ending tends to drag a tad.. still terrific filmmaking. GRADE: A
