The Ultimate Movie of All Time

What I loved most: Everything (seriously)

What I really hated: Nothing (seriously)

This is the most perfect ending to the trilogy anyone can ever make into a movie. Peter Jackson did an amazing job (and that's really just an understatement) in bringing Tolkien's epic trilogy to life. It is suitably poignant at times and that is in fact what made me connect with the movies, not the battle scenes. Peter Jackson fully captured the obscured intentions of Tolkien and enhanced them with a great score, great cast who are amazingly talented actors and actresses, great setting, and great visual effects. The show fully deserved every last one of the eleven Oscar awards it earned. I think in everyone is a desire to find their own Shire, and we often create a Middle Earth that mirrors our lives. And this is perhaps why it is so easy to connect with the storyline and the relatable characters (flawed as anyone can be). I'm 18, and a girl who's into Vogue magazines. But I'm a great fan of this show and it's my favourite movie of all time (of course, eye candies like Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen were a bonus!). 'Fantastic' does not even come close to describing the show. It is out of this world. Kudos (and lots more than that) to Peter Jackson for his stellar directing skills.

King of all sequels

What I loved most: The new benchmark of fantasy epics.

Lord of the rings forever changed the way fantasy epics are made. The blend of superb direction and flawless acting is topped off with revolutionary CGI. The credit duly goes to WETA workshop. A sequel it may be and a third one still. But definitely a king of sequel nonetheless.
