The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
PG-13
Since we're HUGE Hot Fuzz fans, we really, really wanted to pick Bad Boys 2 as sequel of the year for 2003, but we just couldn't do it. 2003 was a HUGE year for sequels. 13 of the top 50 movies of the year were sequels and there were another five sequels in the top 100. There were a few great moments (X2, bits in the Matrix sequels) and a lot of so-so bombast, but, c'mon, like anything was going to be better than Return of the King. Yes, it had 25 endings and about six too many, but it's going to act as the definition of "epic movie" for the next few decades, so we'll forgive it a few flaws.
