The Perfect End to the Greatest Trilogy of All-time

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2004)

What can I say about this film that others haven't said a million times before in more eloquent prose? Return of the King was beautiful and exhilarating in a way that few films are nowadays, much less huge Hollywood blockbusters such as this one. The sheer over-powering emotion and visual grandeur of it all is, in my honest opinion, second to none. . .and now, looking at these films as a whole, I cannot for one second imagine a greater trilogy of films ever being created in this or any other dimension ever again. The Lord of the Rings will stand the test of time as being an unrivaled cinematic masterpiece that's both bold and brilliant; magical, and yet grounded in humanity.
