Without a Doubt The Greatest Film in Cinema History

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2004)

There is not much I can say about The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King because it wouldn't do it justice. The acting of the leads is enough to make it a great film, but the special effects and music put it over the top. You stare at the screen looking at a cavalry of thousands of men, each looking like he is just another stand in, but every last one of them is digital. When you look at Gollum you don't even think effect you think character performance. You see hundreds of men charging a forsaken city and the music puts you over the edge. I am a stickler when it comes to performances and visual effects. In movies like Scooby Doo you just look at that dog and know its a pathetic effect. Not once did I think that watching this movie. You must see this Oscar winning film and if you have, see it again. The Special Extended Edition will be even better.
