Already a classic masterpiece of film-making

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2004)

Although you would have to have seen parts one and two to wholly appreciate part three, Return of the King is in and of itself an exemplary piece of film-making. Acting performances are outstanding across the board, the scenery will take your breath, and the exceptionally well-adapted story will have you on the edge of your seat the whole 210 minutes.
I should say Tolkien would be proud of this movie. I wouldn't have imagined most people who read the book to say that they were quite satisfied with the movie's handling of the story. The years shooting this movie were time well spent! (As will be the hours you it'll take you to watch it all. :)
