The Best Movie of the all year

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2005)

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KIng the best movie of the all year. Even in state of the art movies of late I have been aware that I could be watching a video game. Here I only occasionally noticed that things were clear computer effects, even though the majority of the film was! This is how they SHOULD be used - not as a draw in their own right but as part of the film. Elijah Wood put on a better performance than he did in the first movie, as did Sean Astin. Ian McKellen, who captivated us in the last movie, captivated us even more in this one. The movie, like its predecessor, fails to bring us closure, but that's OK. Closure will come next year. I look forward to the Return of the King.
The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the KIng is now three my favorite movie of all time.
My Rate on this movie 10/10.
