"Not all that is gold sparkles"

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2020)

This review basically covers my thoughts on the entire trilogy... How can I put into words the sheer magnificence of this film let alone the trilogy as a whole? My journey with these films began back in 2016 when I was 15, and I had no idea what an impact they would have on me. To start off, the translation from the book to screen is marvelous! Every little aspect is perfection - the characters, world building, Howard Shore's score, cinematography, and the moral of the story. This movie/trilogy is truly the definition of good film making. Every actor and actress did an outstanding job of portraying their role. Tho "Return of the King" won 11 Oscar and, I still cannot believe it was not nominated for best actor!? These films are diamond compared to all the "cash grabs" that fill theaters. "Lord of the Rings" will forever be one of my favorites and go on to be a timeless classic.
