Infinitely Stunning and Magnificent

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

...this is my first review, and what a better way to start than with this film.
Now I had read these books long ago, when I was a child, and having been so long, watching this was like a new experience for me. Every moment of the film, spent reliving images I had imagined through reading the books so long ago. Translated from word to film flawlessly, Return of the King is as infinitely stunning as it is magnificent. The characters we've all know so well (in some cases loved, few cases obsessed) perform even more elegantly in this final chapter.
And of director Peter Jackson, who has truly created a cinematic masterpiece that will be awed over for generations of filmgoers to come. The highest praise, however, must indeed go to the mind of the late J.R.R Tokien, for whom his vision so long ago, truly did inspire the thousands involved throughout the filming process, and the millions of us who have embraced this epic.
