    The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

    ★★★★★

    The epic conclusion to the greatest trilogy ever made.

    Teared up more than once. Sean Astin, Bernard Hill and John Noble operating on another level.

    Minas Tirith assault and Pelennor fields is mesmerising until the CGI rolls in and becomes overbearing.

    Some more tiresome comic relief too and extended edition extra scenes that don't quite fit.

    Brilliant and memorable score by Howard Shore.

    I only wish that Peter Jackson had committed to the Hobbit from the start and drew better inspiration from what made this trilogy so great.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

    ★★★★★

    3 hours and 43 minutes of pure entertainment. Give me an extended, extended version. Superb performances all round.

    Not sure how much I'm into the comic relief here and there, but it doesn't take away from how monumental this film is. Entire Helm's Deep sequence is of course the highlight.

    As dark as it is gripping and superb performances all around

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★½

    An extra star goes to-
    IMAX and not being sleepy

    Beautifully shot. Perhaps Hans Zimmer needs to cool it at times

    I guess it's time to watch David Lynch's? Cian if you're reading this we should definitely get on it
