Story goes from where it last left off with Frodo trying to get the ring into Mt Doom and Gondor under attack. Visuals and special effects are wonderful. The best battle (at Pelennor Fields) seen since Saving Private Ryan. Lots of... Full review

In 1977, I was transported into a world of awe and wonder through the groundbreaking movie magic of George Lucas' Star Wars. Subsequently, I grew up with characters who meant something to me, and followed the story of hope, struggle, and... Full review

How do you take a story of this magnitude, make it into a series of movies, and not dissapoint some people? You cannot, impossible. Be thankful that Peter Jackson took the initiative and the risk of making these movies in the... Full review

Obviously, I'm aware of the fact that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is actually one giant movie, but since it was released in parts, that's how I'm judging them. The Return Of The King is the final chapter, and since... Full review
I am, I admit, an unlikely convert to the religion of Tolkienism. I have never read the books, having, I thought, been put off them for life by the sort of obsessive freaks who read them when I was at school.... Full review

This is the final movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and certainly doesn't disappoint like some other trilogies *coughMatrixcough*. The three films had their principal shooting all done at the same time, which lowers their overall costs and keeps... Full review
Unprecedented.

Peter Jackson has done it. He has created an all-encompassing epic saga of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books, and after coming away from the final chapter, how does this rate not only as a film on its own, but as... Full review
A Brilliant Conclusion

As a movie watcher, I tend to become bored with the constant, overdone, overdrawn, underplayed, overdramatized performance and production quality of most Hollywood films. It's a trait that in recent years has sadly driven me away from most big budget American... Full review
A monumental film

Feeling weary and battle-worn, I have just staggered out of the cinema after three and a half hours of special effects creatures fighting other special effects creatures. I had taken refreshments but barely touched them - probably because the film I... Full review

This has always been one of my favorite scenes in The Return of the King , and it does capture the themes of Tolkien in one haunting moment. It's difficult to pick a favorite scene from the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- but at least picking the one that won Best Picture narrows it down. ... Full Review

The magnificence is unsurpassed by any film I have seen this year, but by all accounts, Jackson is setting up "The Return of the King" as the greatest of the trilogy. I didn't even fidget in my seat, but instead stood on the edge of it, transfixed by the amazing film Peter Jackson has produced and directed. ... Full Review

If this movie doesn't win the Best Picture it better at least get nominated. Gimli has some great moments to help the tone of the movie and keep it funny. ROTK is a non-stop ride of action and adventure in the greatest battle scene in movie history. ... Full Review
