A detailed and highly irreverent review of the Return of the King by someone who, like me, would have liked the films to be more consistent with the books. And she expresses herself much better than I can. Highly recommended whether you agree or not. (Some adult language but nothing as bad as the title might lead you to think.)
Reviewer Fazio writes as though he can hardly believe that Jackson pulled off The Two Towers without creating a disaster. Though he finds faults here and there, he is forced to conclude that "there's something about the sheer grandeur of Jackson's vision, his obsessive attention to detail and the almost naive reverence he brings to the material that's irresistible."
