A Triumph, A Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2003)

The Return of the King is a triumph of filmmaking. From the acting, editing, cinematography to the CG effects. Everything fit together flawlessly. The Return of the King seals the truth that The Lord of the Rings is truly the best trilogy ever made in film. Peter Jackson has created a masterpiece, a lifetime achievement that few men ever achieve. The Lord of the Rings was a finely crafted trilogy of fantasy and fiction that was under appreciated by many, leaving it to a sub culture of Lord of the Rings fans. With the advent of The Fellowship of the Ring the amazing story and characters of the Lord of Rings were opened up to anyone and everyone who can go to the movies. Now in every dramatization of a movie there is a wide margin of space in which the movie can totally destroy the book, but Peter Jackson has taken the book and made a tribute and a shrine to the books. Instead of adapting the books, the films take the best, loving and feeling the true emotions contained in the book. I cannot describe the amazing triumph of emotion, action and drama the Lord of the Rings trilogy protrays, it's necessary to see the movie for yourself.
