Perfect, literally a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2020)

ROTK is my favorite movie of all time. No question. Why? Well, here goes.
Plot: Obviously these are book adaptations so they're taking the plot from the books. Nevertheless, out of all three books/ movies, this is by far the most entertaining. It's the culmination of the whole series and contains the most action sequences and emotional scenes in the whole series.
Acting: This was like the only category this movie wasn't nominated for an Oscar in and that doesn't mean the acting was any less than the rest of the film. Every actor nails their role to perfection, there's no performance that rlly stand out drastically above the rest which is why, I think, it had no nominations. Although Sean astin and Viggo mortenson are two that I particularly would applaud.
Directing: Peter Jackson was the best director possible for this series. Yes, he's not the greatest director working right now ( Spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino, Scorsese, etc) but his appreciation and love for the source material makes him the choice that best works in the series favor. He understood Tolkien's work and it showed. He respected the important elements from the books and didnt make drastic changes to the script that would change the story.
Cinematography: Some of the shots in this movie are absolutely fantastic: from the sacrifice of faramir to the emotional end of all things, the cinematography captures the feel of each scene wonderfully.
Score: It's a well known fact that Howard shores score for these three movies are among the greatest achievements in films score ever. Similar to the cinematography, the score does such a great job in making the movie emotionally impactful. This aspect of cinema is so underrated.
Special effects: Outstanding. The time and effort put into the sets, design, and practical affects is both genius and awe inspiring. There's not enough I can say on how well done it is and how far ahead of its times it is.
Overall one of the best movies ever and I highly suggest y'all watch it( after the first two of course).
