Reelviews: “There can be no greater gift for a movie lover than the one bestowed upon audiences by Peter Jackson, whose The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is not only the best movie of 2003, but the crowning cinematic achievement of the past several years. In fact, labeling this as a “movie” is almost an injustice. This is an experience of epic scope and grandeur, amazing emotional power, and relentless momentum…Not only is this motion picture an entirely worthy conclusion to the landmark trilogy, but it’s better than its predecessors.” Mori at AICN: “[T]hese films represent a high point for genre filmmaking that will be nearly impossible to equal or surpass…It’s overwhelming. It’s incredibly powerful, with battle sequences that will sweep over you like virtual reality and emotional crescendos that would be impossible to hit in a single film.“
