Immerse in an Epic Tale

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

Peter Jackson delivers again; while not perfect, Jackson transports us for a few hours to the wonderful world of Tolkien. The special effects, acting, and directing allow fans and movie aficionados to lose themselves in Middle-Earth. I love movies that I can immerse myself in and ROTK is definitely one of those films.
Jackson is very skilled at capturing the theme of the books and ROTK does not disappoint. ROTK is not true to the books and like TTT there are a number of unnecessary added scenes as well as scenes that would have explained things to those who hadn't read the books. Despite its imperfections ROTK surpasses the expectations fans had for painting such an elaborate tapestry the reflects Tolkien's beautiful but terrible world.
Definitely another 10, the strengths of this film soo far outweigh the weaknesses that 10 is the only rating I can give it.
