A Perfect Finish.

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2003)

I just came from "The Return of the King" and aside from being emotionally drained, I am thrilled with this final installment. Unlike the tepid finish of "The Matrix" trilogy, this series of movies go out with the same force it came in with. Jackson's work, no matter what the rest of his career yields, will be his capstone achievement and one that place him in the movie directors hall of fame. For all of the fussing and complaining about the length of this movie, I was happy with it. I thought the movie was as long as it needed to be and I personally never wanted it to end. Thank you Peter Jackson.
