My first "10"

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2003)

I never thought I'd give a 10, let alone to such a big-spectacle type film, but I'm happy to make an exception for ROTK. Thank you, Peter Jackson, for the gift of this trilogy. Never as an adult have I been immersed in a film experience before. I thought I'd lost that ability after "Star Wars". I now hand the reins of my favorite all time film to ROTK, and my favorite film trilogy to LOTR. I had high hopes for the SW prequels to bring an adult sensibility and modern sophistication to what was the best film series of all time. Who'd have thought it would be Peter Jackson and LOTR? The only downside to ROTK? It hurts to say goodbye to these remarkable characters and creations.
