Return of the King
"Return of the King" is okay. What I don't get are all the hosannas critics heap upon it--Kurosawa has been mentioned; so has "Chimes of Midnight." This isn't the reinvention of the wheel folks, it's an above-average adaptation of some mediocre boys' fantasy novel. I don't even think it's Jackson's best work; that would be "Heavenly Creatures."

Just ok? :( I like RotK best out of the three..
I prefer Two Towers.
Actually the whole shebang's pretty tiresome. I'd rather spend my five hours rewatching Lav Diaz's Batang West Side.
