Simply and unequivocally, THEY NAILED IT!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2003)

The third flick in a series is rarely the best. This one is! The film is rarely better than the book. This one is! I found that of the three books in the trilogy, Return of the King was the least clear and the least satisfying. In the movie version, the reverse is true. Its simply a really fun, really great roller coaster ride from start to finish. I have nothing more to say except if you've already seen it, nothing I could say could possibly match the film itself and if you haven't, you simply must. I would just like to say to the cast and crew, in the words of so many Olympic sports, Congratulations, you nailed it! (And to anyone who could possibly give this film less than a 10, you must have had the flu that day!)
