The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003
They got it right the first time.
The theatrical version, non-HD, non-remastered, was best.

Irritating. Not as liberating as it pretends to be. Casting the two most beautiful people of their age group, and then reigning make up and soft lighting upon them is hardly representative of whatever this was supposed to be.

Strong acting keeps this from collapsing under it’s own pretentiousness.
