My favourite movie franchise ever

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2018)

This is my favourite set of movies, return of the king (3rd lord of the rings movie) being my absolute favourite movie I've ever seen. The CGI and special effects are brilliant for something of this time, the cast couldn't have been better. Elijah Wood was absolutely superb, along with Sean Astin, Ian Mckellen, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, John Rhys Davis and Dominic Monaghan. They were all absolutely excellent, start to finish. They are like the books in so many ways and really managed to take the books and put it onto a screen in such a wonderful way. The storyline was very strong and advanced. The way the turned Andy Circus into Gollum was epic for something that came out at that time. It, by far, had the best battle scene in the whole franchise and better than the majority of films I've seen. Those who've seen the film will know which battle I'm talking about but I don't want to give spoilers. I've lost count of how many times I've seen these films. The dialogue was awesome and there wasn't a scene where I spotted a huge mistake that ruined the film. I think there was the odd CGI error but it wasn't major. The make up was extremely believable, especially the orcs and the hobbits' feet. The whole world was just so great. Overall, this was my least favourite out of the three but it is very close. Peter Jackson did a great job and I have no idea how many times I've rewatched these films! I hope the Amazon Series is going to be really good but I don't think it's even remotely possible to live up to these standards.
