A tale for the ages... - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Reviews

I knew this movie was going to be ge a masterpiece and I was right. I loved the opening scene with Smeagol and his lust for the ring. I felt like it helped give a little bit of a history lesson of the ring. The aftermath of Isengard was cool to see as well(although I was disapointed that Saruman did not show his face even once). The movie stuck with the book in making Sam the real hero. By the time all is said and done you will love Sam. I was very impressed with the army of the dead warriors. They looked even more menacing then the orcs themselves! The camera angles and the the way Peter Jackson tells this story is flawless. Like others have mentioned the Battle of Pleanor Field blows away anything every done before. From every boulder being launched to the lighting of the bonfires flawless.The best scene is the fight between the Witch King and Eowyn, she is a badass and that is putting it lightly. I also liked the graphics of mordor it gave me the chills seeing Saurons eye watching down upon his kingdom. Words can never do this film justice it is a masterpiece that will rule over every trilogy.
