Greatest Movie of . . .ever!

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2006)

The Return Of The King has been my favorite movie, ever, since I saw it in December 2003. After the Helms Deep battle of The Two Towers, I was wondering how the heck PEter Jackson would top it. But he did, and with flying colors.
The reason this movie is so amazing is the focus not only on the epic battles and awe-inspiring special effects, but the emotion going on in each of the characters. It is one of the most emotional movies I've seen. You can see the wear-and-tear of Frodo, the internal battle of Aragorn, the angst of Eowyn, the hope of Gandalf . . .its all there.
The Frodo/Sam/Gollum scenes become a bit boring after a while, they never seem to get any closer, and Frodo tires out many times. But this can be overlooked by the journey the rest of the characters take, and the amazing finale.
This movie caused me to cry more than once, six different scenes in all. But the highlight of this movie is my favorite of all parts of all 3 LOTR movies- the Rohirrim march at Pelennor Fields. It brings tears to my eyes every time.
This movie is so amazing because of its ability to be an epic battle story, while still having elements of comedy, romance, emotion, and everything good that goes into a movie. In 2 words: watch it.
