The best of the 3

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2003)

I had very high hopes for this one, and was not disappointed. There were touch points I had visualized (the Cracks of Mount Doom, the Grey Havens) and they were done with exquisite beauty. What is amazing to me is that PJ can forge the tale onscreen with the SFX and majesty of overwhelming scope and power, while at the same time present Sam's sacrifice and the pain of Frodo with heart-rending humanity.
Hats off to the best trilogy of all time.
