"The fanboys are so serious about The Dark Knight being the best film of 2008 that if the Academy snubs the comic-book adaptation for a Best Picture nomination, they’re liable to storm the Kodak Theatre on February 22 in protest. But why should anyone be worried that it won’t get the nomination? It wouldn’t be much of a coup for the year’s top-grossing blockbuster to be named one of the five Best Picture candidates. In fact, since the very first Academy Awards, the top award has often been handed out to films that were #1 at the box office in their respective year. And the last time it happened was as recent as 2003, with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Thanks to popular and talented filmmakers like D.W. Griffith, Walt Disney, David Lean and Steven Spielberg, it’s hardly uncommon for films to make money and earn critical respect. But this isn’t an opportunity to spotlight overrated top-grossing Best Pictures like

"Over the weekend, Wanted had a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. It’s since gone down to 81% (at the time of this writing — and with top critics it’s down to 67%), though that’s still pretty good for a movie that initially looked like just another Matrix knockoff. But will the good reviews make for great box office? Last night, while viewing the latest trailer in a theater with some friends, I mentioned that Wanted was receiving great reviews. Nobody believed me at first, and then they didn’t care; they still thought it looked terrible. Good reviews rarely help an action movie, and bad reviews rarely deter audiences from seeing them. However, if we look at the top 5 most critically acclaimed action movies, it’s clear that people do often prefer a good action film to a bad one. The next 5, on the other hand… The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) Rotten Tomatoes’ “T-Meter” score: 94% (top critics: 98%) All Time Domestic Box Office Rank: #9 ($377 million) Sam "

"One of the greatest works in filmmaking comes to an inevitable and enthralling close in Return of the King. Watch all three installments in a row and you will finally get the full scope of one of the greatest epic works of fiction ever created. Here at the end of all things we find a satisfying fulfillment in everything that The Lord of the Rings is. "

"...And the journey comes to an end in a bunch of big, fat, bloated action sequences. Even though this won the Best Picture Oscar, I think the FIRST one is the best. I could watch that one over and over...this one...I only recently bought it. Too long on action scenes (and false endings!), too short on the story itself. True, the film looks beautiful, but so did the first two. True, it's a bit of a tear jerker, but so are the first two. I don't know, I just was a little let down. A slightly disappointing end to the fantasy series ever. "

"Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the RingLord of the Rings: The Two Towers Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingI think it is fair to say that Peter Jackson's trilogy of the Lord of the Rings is one of the best trilogies ever made. If not the best! Of course I am writing this because I spent all day yesterday watching the three movies! (regular, not extended, editions) and once again I was amazed about how big a failure Frodo turned out to be. Of all the original Fellowship I don't think you can doubt the heroic qualities of Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. Even Boromir, the most flawed of the Fellowship attains redeemed hero status with his final act of sacrifice in trying to save Merry and Pippin. Speaking of which, of the four Hobbits in the Fellowship, Merry and Pippin, as well as being good comic relief, consistently showed their heroism and intestinal fortitude throughout. That only leaves Sam "

"The Whole Ten Yards--another cheap sequel I bought at the FAMILY DOLLAR (just like Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and--you guessed it--THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS)--was a relation of a rather ingenious situation.Matthew Perry's character is just 'along for the ride' of Bruce Willis's hitman-character's fortune-plan.While I'm sure The Whole Nine Yards was also a good movie, you don't need to have seen it to catch enough of its 'gist' leading into the plot of The Whole Ten ... i.e. The Whole Ten might hold some sort of "completion" of The Whole Nine, but you don't need to know that there was ever Nine to enjoy the Ten (unlike R "

"talk about the end of a trilogy going out with a bang! the extended version of this film is almost an hour longer than the other installments!return of the king is probably the best film out of the three, seeing as it owns the rights to a best picture of the year oscar. I'm not a huge nerd-haven't read these books- but i will be never be able to stop watching this movie. special effects-best you can get. acting- not a weak link among the cast. length-far exceeds normal epic movies but you stay with it throughout (the film follows at least three different stories). Sean Astin should've gotten a best supporting actor nod for this. If you have never seen Return of the King, you are missing out. IT IS FANTASY. But it is also one of the best pictures in years, hands down great movie. Although if you haven't seen Return of the King, you probably haven't seen the Fellowship of the Ring or Two Towers, which rank high right up with this one. These are all not to be missed. "
