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

And The Princess Bride is a fine film....Conclusion The Lord of the Rings film trilogy is an extraordinary cinematic tribute to a great work of Catholic imagination.....While not equaling the religious vision of the books, the films honor that vision in a way....Gandalf's self-sacrifice and descent into the nether world is the dramatic center and major set piece of the first film..... ...

There are several truly moving moments....Meanwhile, Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys Davies) continue to provide inappropriate moments of humor.... ... Full Review
