A Rare Conclusion to an Amazing Epic

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2012)

The Fellowship of the Ring was great. The Two Towers was better. Those two thoughts put a lot of pressure on Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Return of the King. So is this a rare third installment? The Ugly: For a third straight time. NOT A F**KING THING. GOT IT? The Bad: The Return of the King runs at least half an hour longer than the first two. That again depends on which version of the trilogy you are watching. My Rare The Great: Everything. Just look at the movie. Final Verdict: Saying The Return of the King does to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy what Return of the Jedi did to the original Star Wars trilogy is an understatement. Return of the King deserves to be called a winner of Best Picture the most thanks to how political the Academy Awards get.
