Summary: Best battle scenes EVER!
Review: I was very impressed with this film. Peter Jackson didn't take as many liberties with the script as he did with "The Two Towers," which will make fans of the Tolkien books very happy. I would have to say that "Return of the King" is my second favorite movie in the trilogy ("Fellowship" being my favorite), and the battle scenes in this film are the best I've ever seen in ANY film, hands-down. I'm glad that I don't have to wait until August to get this movie on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever Made
Review: This movie just blows u away! There was so much emotion and friendship that it is defienently worth buying and seeing over and over again... I recomend this to any fantasy movie lover (like me) and The Return of the King also has tons of action and adventure!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Without special effects, this is nothing
Review: The acting is simply laughable. The set design is quite amateurish. The computer-generated special effects are simply silly and unconvincing. Plus, this is almost four hours of utter ennui. People seem to enjoy this only because other people seem to enjoy this. To give this an Oscar once again shows that Hollywood is a total self-flattering piece of joke.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gollum's Happy Dance
Review: I thought this movie was awsome! It's so emotional--plus I loved Gollum's happy dance at the end! This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, although I did wonder why Frodo had all of his fingers at the end even though one was bitten off. But that's just me. Anyway I highly recomened this movie!

Summary: My review, in Haiku.
Review: Mum taught me to read
The Hobbit Book from the film
Sitting on her lap.

I read the series
Continued all the stories
When I was quite young.

The Lord of the Rings
Was a pleasant memory
Over many years.

Then I heard about
The movies they were making
And dread filled my heart.

I re-read the books
And was surprised to see now
All that I had missed.

The movies came out;
They were not quite as awful
As my heart had feared.

I do not believe
That they can truly capture
That brilliant story.

From this trillogy
With its roots in myth and dream
You get what you bring.

Summary: lotr is the best movie ever created
Review: If you want to get a movie that you can watch over and over again, lotr the return of the king is the one for you. It has action and drama mixed together. It is an edge of your seat movie that the whole family would love. I highly recommend this movie to any enthusiast out there.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King
Review: I saw the third movie in the trilogy and it was the most emotional compared to the other two movies. I am glad that they finally got the last part of the series finished off and the actors and actresses have put so much work into the last film and it's going to be hard that there will be no more films after this but to me it was well worth it for them to give it the best that they got. I am glad that they accomplished on what they needed to get done with the last trilogy and got it over with. I watched all three movies myself and I got widescreen on both the regular sets and the extended sets as well. I have already placed the order on The Lord of The Ring Return of The King in widescreen and I am going to do the same when the extended version comes out as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: as good as stories get
Review: all i could say upon leaving the theater after seeing this was "what a great ending!" i thought everything about the movie was perfect! but i'm tired of people saying that it was (...)not exactly like the book. well, if it was exactly like the book, the movie would have been hours longer. i think that everyone who worked on the project, especially the director and cast, captured the spirit of tolkien's books superbly, and i doubt a movie this amazing will ever come out again in my lifetime.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: should have won more oscars! :)
Review: I loved this film from the moment the "New Line" Banner twisted onto the screen. After the third time I had seen "Return of the King" my awe and adadmiration was bursting! Peter Jackson did such a beautiful job on this final film. A simply flawless epic!So much commitment and effort and determination has been poured tirelessly into this film, that for anyone to give this a poor rating really doesn't comprehend the utter enormity of it.

Everything, in my opinion excelled with vibrancy and depth. Music - Haunting, Cinematography - Breathtaking, Visual Effects - WHAT visual effects?! A wonderful scene particularly is seeing those massive olephonts dominating the screen, I really did feel quite insignificant! But I could have never guessed by a first glance that it had all come out of a computer!

By three-quarters through, the film takes an unbelievable emotional twist and explodes into a spine-snapping, tear-jearking, electrifying climax... leaving me feeling WOAH!!! I was crying so hard! It's hard to describe how deeply mesmorised I was in that final brilliant hour.

I would have loved to see Elijah Wood (Frodo) and Sean Astin (Samwise) recieve Oscar nominations for their acting. I thought their performances were the best display of companionship and passion I've ever seen. But I'll assure you I was truly thrilled seeing "Return of the King" win Best Picture - more than deserving!!

I love the ending (or endingS)! To comment again on someone's opinion, I certainly didn't leave the cinema feeling totally happy! In fact the bittersweetness of the finale was what I found so emotional, I was both thrilled and heartbroken at the same time!

I would just like to wrap up in saying, this film CHANGED me! Something in that film gripped me so deeply and I don't think I will ever be so humbly touched again! Now, for a film to do that to someone, must be pretty special indeed!

I hope this review is helpful and encouraging! "Lord of the Rings" is a true cinematic masterpiece and will go down in history as the greatest trilogy ever, from magestic beginning, to brilliant end!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Once Agian I'll Wait For Extended Version
Review: The parts cut out of this release were so obviously missing that once again I'll wait for the complete version. I would like to take this time to thank the one star reviewers for the laughs.
