The Best Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2004)

As a Tolkien fan since the age of 15, I have seen many attempts to bring his vision to life in a movie, and in my own humble opinion, all have them have failed miserably. Peter Jackson has pulled off a coup with his Ring trilogy, and Return of the King is the masterpiece of the three. It deserved each and every Oscar it won, and the unprecedented honor of being the first movie in film history to sweep every category for which it was nominated.
There were things in all of three of the movies that I missed from the books (Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, for instance), but I realize that Peter had time constraints to consider. However, I imagine that any true Tolkien fan would have sat through them had they been FOUR hours long. I would have. Heck, in my opinion, they were all too short by about three hours! Best movie I've ever seen!
