Return Of The King
If director Peter Jackson did anything right in his run with the Lord of the Rings franchise (as if there were only one), it was building.
Jackson spent two films,over four hours building up tension while piecing together Tolkien’s complex and eternally imaginative story and promising the audience that it would all be worth some six hours later.
In 2003, he delivered on his promise with Return of the King. It was the biggest, most impressive display of epic storytelling to come about in this decade, and something that might never be matched in size and scope.
And during a decade that appeared to be all about size and scope for a while, that’s certainly something of a serious compliment
