Sublime

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2004)

You know a film like this is good when it goes on for over 3 hours and you still don't want it to end. I'm glad Peter Jackson won an Oscar for this film because it is, in my opinion, the finest film I've ever seen. People can wax lyrical about acting over special effects and gritty independent films but no-one has ever had the vision to put something together like this trilogy, and this final film in particular - it's simply stunning. I only hope and pray that someone gives Peter Jackson the money and facilities to make "The Hobbit" because any further addition to this series would be more than welcome. Warning: if you haven't seen the other two episodes in the trilogy, you will spoil the film experience of a lifetime by watching this first.
