Perhaps the best of the trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2004)

now all Peter Jackson has to do is re edit the movie so we can put all the credits at the end. ;)
Now while I really love the cinematography of the first film. It lacked emotion. So did Two Towers. The extended versions of both films improved upon the story massively. I won't even bother watching the theatrical versions.
However it looks like Peter was rather good on the third film. It's also not often that you see 200 minutes of movie one a single side of a dvd. Though the longest I have is The Last Emperor at 219 minutes. (not getting into DVD-18 movies which are all but extinct)
If you don't tear up at the end of watching ROTK. Then something might be wrong with your tear ducts. It's rather good. I can't say it's perfect. Some movies are, but this comes pretty close. Can't wait till the extended comes out.
Definately devote an entire day to this trilogy. I just did... and my what a movie. LOTR is one movie. As it should be one book. ;)
10/10
Quality: 9/10 Entertainment: 10/10 Replayable: 7/10 (alone) 10/10 via the other two movies
