Absolutely breathtaking.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

By and large one of the best movies I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Peter Jackson has really outdone himself with the finale of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Whether you have read the books or not, but have seen the first two installments of the trilogy, this is an absolute must see. This is by and large the best movie not only of 2003, but I believe it has set the standard for the fantasy genre to be judged against for the rest of the century. A top rate performance by all the actors, incredible direction, and once again, the scenery is an absolutely wonderful backdrop in every scene. It truly immerses the viewer in a cavalcade of sights and sounds. The plot picks up where the Two Towers ends, with some flashbacks scenes to remind you of where you left off. I will not put any spoilers in my review, period. This is a cinematic masterpiece that will have the viewer leaving the theatre not only satisfied, but totally blown away, even if you have read the books.
