Summary: One trilogy to rule them all
Review: It`s very dificult to add more that have already been said,ROTK is a jewel in film making and acting and I even found myself saying that the movie is short as those three hours plus seems only one hour.The movie is loaded with emotion and all the characters are true on the screen.Being a fan of medieval warfare,I was blown away by the realism of the battles,the greatest ever film in the history of cinema IMHO...scenes like the tower of Amon Din are poetry without words.Thank you Peter Jackson for bringing the light of Valinor to us.Was this review helpful to you?

Summary: Thanks Mr. Moneybags!
Review: I am in tears laughing right now at what "Mr. Moneybags" wrote. Comparing Mount Doom to the Death Star? Gandalf to Yoda! I've never laughed so hard in my life. Maybe one reviewer was right; maybe he was just being sarcastic. If he was serious, then I have witnessed a brand new level of stupidity that I will never see again. LOTR is the best film of all time, IMHO, and in the minds of many others as well. I'll be the first to own it on DVD.

Summary: LOTR by someone whois obssesed
Review: I just have to say LOTR is one of the greatest books and movies I have ever seen in all my life I truely think Peter Jackson was an excellent director and he really knows how to take a very wonderful classic such as JRR Tolkiens Lotr and change it into a spectacular movie such as these movies are Also he is very good at casting I think that there was not one actor who did not fit his or her part exactly being an actress my self it really inspired me. I had decided that i would become a teacher but after seeing theses movies over 20times amoth for both FOTR+TT and seeing ROTK 4timesI had too change my mind i thought all the actors were good and was really inspired by Viggo Mortenson ,Cate Blanchet,sean Astin,Orlando Bloom, sir Ian mckellen,and Billy boyd,and dominic Monihan.My parents help pay for a portable dvd player just so i could watch Loptr whenever we are in the car I go (...) almost every night so i can hear all the actors talk to me before i go to bed I have memorized the majority of all three movies after seeing each 4 times and i drive everyone else who dares to watch the movie with me insane because i recite the whole movie also when my friend come sover in the winter she runs up and down the hill at my house that has brown grass on it and she sings rohan music also we can play all of the LOTR songs on our violins welove LOTR (...)much because it is an outstanding movie with great actors

Summary: One Film to Rule Them All
Review: Three years ago, I was worried. I was a huge J.R.R. Tolkien fan, and a movie trilogy was going to come out based on the classic "Lord of the Rings" books. I knew there were two possibilities- it would either blow me away, or it would ruin the series for me. I should never have doubted Peter Jackson. After the first two incredible parts of the series, "Return of the King" managed to outdo both of its predecesors. This film combined the amazing battle scenes of "The Two Towers" with the moving character work of "Fellowship of the Ring". It deserved every one of the 11 Oscars that it won (the first film to get more than 10 nominations and to win each of its nominations). The special effects are incredible, and Sean Astin really shines in his role of Sam. If you liked the first two films of the series, and if you liked the books, this film should be a real treat for you, just as it was for me. The trilogy will go down as, quite possibly, the best, most complete trilogy in all of film, and this chapter of it is the best.

Summary: Lord of the Oscars
Review: I could not agree more with the 11 Oscar wins for this incredible masterpiece that Peter Jackson has created. I saw the theatrical release five times, and am dying to see it many more. Although I'm not the biggest fan of the books, Peter Jackson and the Lord of the Rings cast bring "Return of the King" to life better than any based-on-book movie I've ever seen. This is truly the DVD to own this year and for many more years to come.

Summary: Mr Moneybags is sure a funny fellow
Review: People, it is painfully obvious that moneybags was trying to be sarcastic, and you did exactly what he wanted you to do: reply like raving fanboys. Anyway, Return of the King is the most spectatular film to grace a theater. It is filled with awe, violence, and provides great entertainment! Not once was I bored- if you are patient I would suggest passing on this DVD and waiting for the Extended Version to come out- 40 more minutes are promised

Summary: ROTK....worth your while
Review: The Return of the King is by far the best movie I had seen in a long long time. I cried many a time and sometimes laughed through my tears. The emotional rollercoaster that is the Return of the King is truely an expierence that you just cannot pass up. Pippin, played by Billy Boyd, wrenched my heart when he sang the Steward of Gondor. Also, the true hero to the story is Sam,played by Sean Astin. When Frodo tells Sam to go home was another heart breaker for me and I cried till he found Frodo again. I must also give credit to Merry (Dominic Monaghan)because his bravery in battle was extremely noble. Gollum was an extremely important character in the trilogy, hard as you would like to hate him with all of your soul. However, without him the Ring never would have been destroyed. I must also say that if anyone was perfect for the role of Aragorn it would be Viggo Mortenson. Enough said, for he was THAT good. Gandalf remains the voice of truth in the trilogy. The humor that Legolas and Gimli bring is truely laugh out loud competition. All in all, I would have 2 say that anyone who doesnt see this film has lost out on a masterpiece.

Summary: ROTK
Review: This movie was without a doubt the best of the three even though it was the longest. It was just mind-blowing. The special effects were out of this world and there has never been a best ensemble in any ovie I have ever seen. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is absolutly my favorite movies of all time.

Summary: Mr Money Bags is an Idiot
Review: Yeah I have to agree that Mr Money Bags is one of the biggest idiots in the world. To actually think that this is a rip off on Star Wars just goes to show how backwards his thinking is. If anything Star Wars is rip off on the Lord of the Rings. I mean you do know that it was a book written 40 years ago. And of course you have to have watched all the movies to understand the movie. Thats how the book was written. It was pretty much written as one giant book. And the effects were top notch. To have that many shots in a movie takes a lot of work. After reading your review I put my head in my hands and wept at what an idiot you are.

Summary: The greatest 1/3 of a movie of the past fifty years
Review: I have to say, I was a little let down. I realize that Hollywood must alter and adapt books in order to logistically make them work on screen. Plus there are parts of the Return of the King novel that will bore you to tears. However, I was a little disappointed to have the scouring of the Shire cut... It just gives you that closure with Saruman that you really need. I also had a problem with the 9 endings that just seemed to go on and on and on... Really, we could've stopped with the ship sailing to the west with the nice sunset, but no, we get Sam's musings on family life in the Shire. Okay, enough with the negative. This is a great movie. I can't give it five stars though, because it is only part of a whole, and to watch only Return of the King would leave you missing something. I suggest you do what I will do when this comes out on DVD. Take the Day off of work, watch the Expanded Editions of Fellowship and Two Towers, then pop this one in. Yes, that is ten hours of Tolkien, and it is likely that my eyes will rot out of my skull, but that is the way this was meant to be viewed. My personal favorite, is the battle on the fields of Pelinnor. This was my favorite sequence from the book, and I think Peter Jackson did a wonderful job capturing it in detail. I don't like that he cut the romance between Faramir and Eowyn, but I think that's coming back from the cutting room for the Expanded edition. The stunning visual effects for Shelob reinforced my already ardent fear of spiders, and I absolutely love every screenshot and back drop employed. Yes, I am a Tolkien nerd, but I can easily say that though there are some inconsistencies, no one could ever do a better job creating this cinematically than Peter Jackson and Co. has done. All three movies encapture the personalities of the characters, peoples, and lands of Middle Earth so that Tolkien would be proud. If you do not feel inspired to succeed when all hope is lost, then you have missed the entire point of the movie. If you do not stand up wanting to cleave the arms off the nearest orc, than you have missed the point. If, for the next week after seeing this, you do not walk around saying "Stupid FAT Hobbit!" then you just aren't human. I love this trilogy.
