Woohoo! Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is absolutely, definitely and finally my favourite film of 2003, possibly of a few years before and after also! I'm not a nail-biter, but was an edge-of-the-seater at a few points (and I have read the books so did know what was happening ... mostly) and didn't have any of the time-dragging-on feelings some long films inspired. Emotional too! Sod the moviemistakes nerds, I loved it and so did the three people I went with (we were hyped afterwards and required serious food and alcohol to stop the inane jabber!) Now the long wait for the eagerly-anticipated DVD extended edition <GRIN>
