Can it ever be topped? Should it?

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2003)

As I watched RoTK on opening night it became clear that this was to be a film -- and trilogy -- for the ages. Those three hours may yet redefine my middle-agedness as Star Wars: A New Hope defined my teen and early adult years.
My only regret is that I now sincerely doubt that in my remaining years I will ever see its equal; the bar is now *that* high.
