The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Directed by Peter Jackson
2003
★ 9.1 editorial score
Eleven nominations and eleven wins, a clean sweep no film has bettered: Jackson closed a decade-long gamble with battles at an unattempted scale and an ending that earns its farewells.
“Hours after watching the film, I can close my eyes and see those incredible battle scenes pulsing and throbbing in my skull. They are even more extravagant than his jaw-dropping siege of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers. And for the first time in this series they are built on to a plot with some narrative force.”
