The perfect conclusion to the one of a kind epic trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2004)

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is one of the best movies of 2003, if not in history of adventure movies. This movie was filled with numerous battles sequences and contained more dialogue than the first two movies. Some critics believe this dragged on the ending, however, it was crucial for the conclusion of the trilogy since it doesn't leave any loose ends. Personally, I'd rather have a long ending than be left hanging and compelled to wonder at after the movie is over (although with this movie, it wouldn't have mattered since I've read the books by J.R.R. Tolkein). Unlike the ending to the Matrix trilogy, Matrix Revolutions, this movie has set raised the standards of epic movies and most likely, we will never again be able to have such an experience as with the Lord of the Rings series. Such scenes as the battle scene with Frodo and the Spider, as well as the attack on Mordor will leave many breathless. Overall rating 9.8/10
