never in history has this happened, and never will it again

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

no project of this magnitutde has ever been attempted, it was the biggest gamble of any production studio in the history of cinema. with reutrn of the king, the final chapter in the lord of the rings, you come to realize that these may possibly be the grandest, most epic movies ever made. i gave it a 10 out of 10 because really, its not for just this film its for all three as a whole. what an ending for such an astonishing trilogy of movies by peter jackson. this film truly defines the meaning of great cinema.
