simply the best

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2004)

this film is simply the best, both of the trilogy and of this type of epic film making. before the LOTR films people had stopped making this type of epic. not only is the film a technical masterpiece, it also has a heart to it due to the quality of writing and the excellent performances from the actors, especially, Sean Astin, Viggo Mortenson, and Ian Mckellen. This is the only film that has caused me to leave the cinema speechless. Return of the king fully deserved all of the Oscars it won and should also have had nominations in the acting categories. i can't wait to see the extended version on DVD which i have got on order. the parts involving Christopher Lee will be very interesting to see.
