Easily, one of the greatest film experiences you will ever have. Period.

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2005)

With "The Return of the King", Peter Jackson's trilogy based on the works of Tolkien, come to a dramatic and climactic end. Throughout all of my movie going experiences, never have I ever wished a story to never end, but unfortunately, all stories do have a conclusion.
The story, for those of you that have been sleeping these last few years, concentrates on Frodo and Sam's journey into the heart of Mordor to destroy the One Ring. While, in the meantime, Aragon, Legolas, Gandalf, Gimli, and the surviving members of the fellowship, prepare to do battle with the minions of Mordor.
In retrospect, let me just say that this film has everything anyone can ever wish for in a movie! Action, adventure, romance, humour, mind-blowing special effects, a superb story, and characters that you actually care for. During this film, I think I experienced every feeling that we, as humans, can feel. Joy, sadness, excitement, awe, and obviously just being stunned and speechless. Peter Jackson did the impossible when he made this film, and I applaud him for his efforts, as he genuinely deserves all the credit he has received for this, and the previous two films.
If there is one film that you MUST see, "The Return of the King" is definitely that one film. Run out and buy (don't rent) the extended version of this film, as this is the true vision. An utterly mind-blowing experience. For once, the Academy Awards were right in their choice for Best Picture.
