best of all time

When I comment on "Return of the King", in my mind I am commenting on all three in the series. I view it as ONE MOVIE, not THREE.
This story was magnificently portrayed on screen. Each actor played his/her role as though their's was the most important role. I was not disappointed with a single character. The visual effects were stunning. Granted, this is one of those films that is best appreciated on the big screen. And Jackson's interpretation of the Orcs and other creatures was rather disturbing (as it should be). The word done on the sets left you feeling that you had entered a new realm.
If I had three thumbs they would all be up.
Now after saying that, I must say that if you are not a fan of this genre, you may not enjoy the film. I have friends (gasp) who actually fell asleep during the film. I cannot understand such people except to say they have very little imagination.
