Incredible, flawless epic

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2011)

Peter Jackson, in his artistic, is able to created the single greatest masterpiece of a movie that I have ever witnessed.Everything about this movie staggered my imagination. The actors (McKellen, Mortenson, WOod, Aston, etc.) are able to portray their respective characters that Tolkein described to perfection. Furthermore, the directing, sound, costumes, and effects all combined with each other to create an unprecedented masterpiece. Only two movies (Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump), in my mind, compete with the genius of The Return of King. What separates LOTR from other films, though, is its success in converting a fantasy into, not only a mainstream smash, but an eleven Oscar-winning film. For these reasons, I immensely enjoyed this truly unique epic.
