Now THAT'S the way to make a Trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

Was that movie 3.5 hours? I didn't even notice.
Peter Jackson not only successfully brought the Rings Trilogy to the screen, he put together three movies in such a way that all future directors should take note.
King offered the complete development of all the LOTR characters, without compromising the integrity of the books, and without losing the audience in the process. Middle Earth was entrusted to Mr. Jackson and he delivered perfectly! The placement of comic relief was PERFECT. And he presented all the loyalty, action, drama and romance, while still retaining the underlying dark and insidious spirit that prevailed in all three movies.
Three Cheers for the Three Ring Movies. The greatest trilogy of movies ever presented. Bar none. This, even more so than the first two, is Oscar worthy material all around.
