The anticipation surrounding this movie was unprecedented. Millions of fans vied for a chance to see it on opening night. I won’t even try to speak for them, because I saw it ten days what looks like a many month streak at the box office.

What I did see was a top notch finale to the trilogy. There’s not enough positive adjectives to describe this movie, but I’ll try a few. How about stupendous, amazing and incredible. And that’s just the opening credits.

Moving on, the acting, as the other films in the series was rock solid. The direction, writing and pacing was proof that it is possible no matter how much money and hype surrounds a film, if the story is there – in the end, only the story matters. Double plus kudos to Peter Jackson for the cinematic achievement of a lifetime; delivering a trilogy where each film improved on the previous film.

I liked this movie. I liked it a whole lot. I’d see it again and pay full price. What’s most impressive to me about this film is that I’m probably the most novice fan of the Lord of the Ring books out there. I’ve tried seven times to read the Hobbit, never making it beyond page 72. But the films made the story a lot more appealing, so I’m ready to try it again. So go see Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. See it NOW!
