The problem when writing reviews for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is that they are so perfect in every way known, that there reviews will be so familiar. Each film gets better than the last, and Return of the King pulls out all the stops to bring you an unforgettable masterpiece of epic proportions. The story is well written, with the relationships between the characters really appearing. The special effects were wonderful again, along with the locations and creatures. It becomes near impossible to spot the point when the CGI doubles become the real actors. The music again, really set the tone for the film, and expanded on the adventure. The acting was superb again, especially Andy Serkis' performance as both the non-cgi and cgi versions of Smeagol/Gollum. There isn't much to say about this film apart from BRILLIANT. If you haven't seen these yet, you don't know what your missing. Once the end credits start rolling, you start to feel a feeling of sadness deep inside you. An unforgettable journey has come to an end. He's one fan who hope Peter Jackson will finally choose to make The Hobbit books into a cinematic masterpiece. The film deserved the 11 academy awards it got. You should go out now and pick this up. I also would recommend the extended editions for each films. You gather lots more action and back story, along with Sarumans missing death scene.
