Magnifico!

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2013)

The King returns fiercely to command and conquer not only the dark lands of Mordor but also to wipe the slate clean at the 76th Annual Academy Awards. Director Peter Jackson fashionably wraps up the great tale of THE LORD OF THE RINGS by securing 11 wins at the ceremony and joins the ranks alongside BENHUR and the TITANIC as the movies for the most number of wins at the Academy Awards. TLOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING so far is the only movie to have won all awards that a motion picture has been nominated for. This noteworthy achievement is solid enough to determine its greatness and consider that this is undoubtedly a must watch movie.
If you are reading this then you are a fan and also is well aware about the direction of the story. In the simplest forms this is where the fellowship clashes with the dark lord for the last time and mans greatest battle is fought.
Over and over again I have emphasized on the emphatic effort and the miracle of makeup and effects of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Soaring through the clouds the bars are raised into new heights in makeup and costuming as Peter Jackson and his crew clearly outdo themselves. The detailing of the costumes, the detailing of the scenery and the detailing of the entire environment is skillfully orchestrated and for one second one will not suspect that this is in fact a motion picture. Much like the miraculous journey through the wardrobe into the land of Narnia every turning stone in the path of TLOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING is magical and it's novelty in CGI cannot be compared to any picture that has yet been done. Do you remember how Aslan blew the breath of life into the frozen folk in the land of Narnia? In retrospect this is exactly what Jackson does he takes the manuscript written by Tolkien decades ago and he makes it into this wonderful finale which is TLOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING.
Over a period of three years Jackson, his cast and crew have been carefully working their way up to this point, this very day where the whirlpool of creativity J.R.R. Tolkien envisioned is finally coming to an end.
Pulling all the stops this 200 minute piccasso explodes into infinite entertainment bringing the daunting journey of Frodo Baggins and the one ring to its end.
A flamboyant finish to an epic master piece that will remain in the hearts and minds of the fans for years to come!
