Absolutely stunning!!!

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2003)

The Return of the King is a masterpiece in every respect. The battle scenes are fabulous, the scenic landscape is awe-inspiring (and I thought that couldn't possibly get any better after The Two Towers), and the two separate plots are tied together so well, that the transitions from the Hobbits in Mordor to Humans in Gondor flow naturally and seamlessly. The interaction between Sam, Frodo and Gollum keep you on the edge of your seat, while the mighty adventures of Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalph make you wanna grab a sword and join the fight. This seriously is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and apparently I'm not the only one to think so as the New York Film Critics Circle chose "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" as the top film of 2003.
