There are some who say the perfect movie does not exist. I would say that if a movie can take an entirely fictional plot and create a fantasy world that captivates an audience in such a way that the setting becomes home, the characters become dear friends, and the fictional battle between good and evil becomes a cause to die for, what else is required in order to achieve "perfection?"

Trying to review "The Return of the King" as a "good" movie is like trying to describe the Beatles as a "well-known" band. The trouble is that it goes beyond the realm of mere films and lies somewhere between the borders of "spiritual experience" and "life-changing event." It transcends the medium of moviemaking as we know it. For starters, it requires a two-day recovery period in order for the viewer to move past the frequent blinking, glazed eyes, and stammering of "incredible" and "I can't even describe it."
