One day it will be #1.

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2004)

There's probably no such thing as a perfect movie, but 'the Return of the King' is very close to being one. Anyone who says this movie 'sucks', should know that it is currently #3 in the top 250 movies list. There must be very good reasons for it to be so high up there. I believe that eventually it will become #1 as more people discover 'The Lord of the Rings'. Many people say it is too long, but for me, when it is over, I feel that it was too short. The time goes by very fast when a story is so interesting, and the imagery colorful and realistic. I have never thought this so much about a movie, but the music is one of the best elements. Howard Shore won an Academy Award for Best Score, and he definitely deserves it, in total, the film won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. I have never felt so satisfied with a movie as I have with all three in the trilogy, I can seriously say, that these are the best movies ever made. I have read 'The Lord of the Rings', and I don't think that a book has ever been made into a movie so successfully. Not many movies can be made from a novel and be just as good as the original story. To describe the trilogy in a word: Masterpiece!
