Directed by: Peter Jackson
Grade: A
There’s a deserved level of special, adventurous eloquence that prevailed in 2001’s the Fellowship of the Ring that made it, in my opinion, marginally superior to the 2002 sequel the Two Towers. The third and final sequel, 2003’s the Return of the King, follows in similar style as did the Two Towers, however, it deservedly is just as good as the Fellowship of the Ring due to the fact that it concludes the epic story of our generation, rather than ending it in another cliffhanger as both predecessors equally suffer. What also makes the Return of the King so appealing in its own right is that it’s the most visually stunning film event to hit the screens in decades. In that logic, there are movie that are big, loud and explosive in all their special effects, but they squander it under a wasteful, unoriginal storyline and character development. As is not the case with the Return of the King, which rather puts plotline and characters above the amazing visual effects which do carry a lot of the film, meaning, all of the visual effects were put to excellent use. The Return of the King is so masterfully completed: each storyline belonging to each individual character comes to its individual conclusion, the battle scenes reign supreme, and the remarkable story of hobbits, wizards, dwarves, dark lords, elves and men is brought to such a definitive conclusion. I highly recommend that you watch the extended version as well. A
