Summary: THE BEST FINAL MOVIE IN CINEMA HISTORY!!!!
Review: There have been other final movies in trilogy's. Return of The Jedi, Matrix Revolutions, T3, Back To The Future 3, Godfater 3, but this movie blows all of them away. This is the one film I came out of the theater ready to cry my eyes out. The story never ever lets up in stunning visuals, and heartthrobbing story. Nothing is really left unsaid. Unexplained. It was all there. I cant count how many times I was ready to burst in tears from what I was watching of screen. This is the best ENDING film that will EVER be created. And when the DVD comes out, it will be a must have for all fans. I wish I could give it 6/5 Stars.

Summary: The Greatest Motion Picture Masterpiece In History
Review: I'll say it right off the bat: "The Lord Of The Rings" is simply the greatest, most astounding movie trilogy of all time. I'll say this ever quicker: "The Return Of The King" is the greatest film in history. There are simply no words to describe my love for this film. It goes beyond an obsession, beyond a craze and the same can be said for most of the world. The recipient of 11 Oscars in February 2004, the film deserved every single one, and then some. The film has also grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, becoming only the second film in history to do so. "The Fellowship Of The Ring" and "The Two Towers" are both classic movies which opened up J.R.R. Tolkien's vision of Middle Earth to the world. Director Peter Jackson had the vision and put it on screen to create two of the most astounding action fantasy epics in history. However, both pale in comparison to the masterpiece of gargantuan proportions that is The Return Of The King.Although Saruman (Christoper Lee) has been defeated, the battle is not quite over. The quest for Middle Earth is just beginning, in fact. In a last attempt to annihilate the race of men, Sauron assembles his army of Orcs to launch a devastating attack on the capital of Gondor, Minas Tirith. The capital is currently being ruled by the rather insane Denethor (John Noble), father of Faramir and the now-dead Boromir. He has no hope in the capital and will not assemble an army in preparation for an attack. As all this is going on, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) join forces with Theoden (Bernard Hill) as they prepare for battle at Minas Tirith. Despite assembling an army of Rohan residents to fight, they are significantly outnumbered by Sauron's forces. Their solution to go deep into a cursed mountain proves inspirational. The discovery of the ghosts in their sea of lush green makes for most impressive viewing and this is fully realised upon their attack at Minas Tirith. Gandalf (Ian McKellen) is also astounding once again in his role, and lifts the spirits of millions. Frodo (Elijah Wood), Sam (Sean Astin) and Gollum continue their trek to Mount Doom in their unwavering quest to destroy the One Ring. Along the way the ring threatens to destroy their plans, as does Gollum whose evil side is more prominent than before. Despite other astounding moments in the film, we must not forget that this is the movie's main story. Their arrival at the great staircase is phenomenal, and made even more memorable by the enormous green bolt shooting through the sky. The broken relationship between Frodo and Sam due to Gollum's interference is heartbreaking and proves the film still sticking to the emotional side of the book. The spider scenes are at times scary, but always entertaining. The journey to Mount Doom is the most anticipated ever seen on film surely, and the final scenes within the mountain are just complete overload. You're on the edge of your seat and nothing is going to tear you away. The best moments arrive with the battle scenes at Minas Tirith. The massive boulders that are launched from each side are some of the most impressive weapons ever seen, and the arrival of Nazgul's is absolutely breathtaking. The way they soar over the mountains is just awe-inspiring and the screeching they make truly was deafening in the cinema. The sheer amount of Orcs preparing to rip the place to the ground is amazing. There must be hundreds of thousands covering miles and miles of land - it makes the battle at Helm's Deep in The Two Towers look like a child's ice cream fight. The lighting of the beacons, the enormous battering ram that breaks through doors and the arrival of the Rohan army to kill off the Orcs is fascinating, pulse-racing viewing. However, nothing can prepare the viewer for the arrival of the eight-story mammoth elephants that mark their arrival with horns as they swish their trunks/tusks through the air, destroying hundreds in their sweeps. What is most astounding about these moments are way in which Jackson constantly cuts from eye-popping bonanza action to emotional and intimate moments. For instance, as the camera rides on the back of a boulder tearing through the sky and crushing a hundred Orcs, we then witness Pippin (Billy Boyd) holding his ears and crying to the heavens as manic fear surround him, before he kills his first Orc. Or with Merry (Domanic Monaghan) riding with Eowyn (Miranda Otto) on their horse and the defeat of Sauron. It's heavy and beautiful, as is the scenes between Arwen (Liv Tyler) and her father Elrond (Hugo Weaving). Then more breathtaking, open-air battles, followed by textured and poignant moments of friendship, hope and the will to survive. This is what makes the film so spectacular. Obviously, it would be nothing without the stunning special effects, but its the relation between the emotion and action that makes it all so brilliant. OVERALL GRADE: 10/10 As the final fifteen minutes of The Return Of The King roll on you're left with a feeling of amazement, of astounding satisfaction in the fact that you know this is the greatest film of all time. Your nerves balance on the edge of oblivion, waiting to see if Frodo drops the ring into the fire or not. I give many thanks to Peter Jackson for displaying his vision and creativity. He is truly a genius and this film will be remembered for generations to come.

Summary: EXCELLENT CLIMAX TO AN UNFORGETABLE SERIES!
Review: When this film was first released back in December, I knew that it would far surpass its previous titles with more action and CGI effects. I wasn't disappointed! 'Return' is the final chapter in the LOTR trilogy and is quite possibly the LONGEST compared to 'Fellowship' & 'Two Towers'! It is also the best! With a total worldwide grossing of $246 million, I had to see the 11:00 pm showing. (which may have been pretty late for most people, but was well worth it!) The story continues as the battle for Helm's Deep has ended! Frodo, Sam, and Golem (AKA "Smiegel") draw closer to the volcanic lair of Mt. Doom where the ring must be destroyed once and for all! (before it causes them to destroy eachother! Meanwhile, Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Pippin and Mary must battle all the power of Middle Earth, in a spectacular war that will blow you away! In the end, we'll see Aragorn be crowned king of Gondor and good triumph over evil! Director Peter Jackson REALLY outdid himself in this one, I'd have to say, and the musical score and scting were most excellent indeed! The ending was also nicely done, considering it gives us more of a look at the places of Middle Earth in order for it to seem like an actual, realistic place of magic and beauty! I give the movie 5 stars! (I wish I could give it MORE!) However, I'm actually waiting for the New Line Platinum Series Special Extended DVD Edition of the film, due to that it is the best version to get for all 3 films. It has more scenes and cast interviews and gives the viewer a better understanding of Middle Earth behind the genius mind of J.R.R. Tolkien. I have the first two in this version and once the Extended Edition for this one comes out, I'll be able to complete my collection! For the hardcore LOTR fan such as myself, I'd highly reccomend it! Still, those of you who can't wait to get their hands on the movie once it comes out, then go for it! Otherwise, wait for the best and see...

Summary: 15 Stars for The Trilogy
Review: In order to give credit to this movie, I honestly believe the trilogy has to be reviewed as a whole. This is not and Indiana Jones type trilogy with three individual stories. Without one, the other two fail. Together, these movies make up the most outstanding, monumental and brilliant bit of moviemaking that we are ever likely to see in our lifetimes. The fact that Tolkien's works are shear genius only makes it more difficult to translate them onto film. And although it would be impossible for anyone to make the "perfect movie" from these books, Peter Jackson came as close as any human possibly could. I'm definately looking forward to the Extended Edition DVD. p.s. If you haven't done so already, please read the books...including the Simarillion.

Summary: Best of the Rings
Review: In my opinion, this was the best of the three Lord of the Rings movies. I was able to sit through the whole movie in the theater without falling asleep once. I loved the movie so much that I bought the GameCube game soon after I saw the movie. I thought that the ending of the movie was okay, but it could have been done a little better. I'm looking forward to when it comes out on DVD. I love the feeling of satisfaction after I buy a great movie on DVD. If you're a fan of Lord of the Rings, YOU MUST GET THIS DVD WHEN IT COMES OUT! BY ORDER OF GANDALF, GIMLI, LEGOLAS, FRODO, SAM, SAURON, SAUROMON, ARAGORN, AND GOLLUM!!!

Summary: Excellent Climax to an unforgettable series!
Review: When I first saw this movie back in December, I expected something much, MUCH more. Something that was far greater than I'd imagined that would be a work of art in cinematography. I wasn't disappointed! ROTK is the third and final entry in the LOTR trilogy, and by far surpasses that of it's previous predecessors 'Fellowship' & 'Two Towers'. The film itself is without doubt, a masterpiece that could've never been if it hadn't been to the REAL genius behind the magic, J.R.R. Tolkien, author of all the stories and the mind of Middle Earth. This is possibly one of the most biggest events in movie making history that fans have desperately been waiting for since the Star Wars series came into existence. (But it could possibly be even BIGGER!) We went to the 11:30 PM showing of the film, considering that all the other showtimes were sold out due to the film's success, which grossed up to $1,005,400,000 worldwide! Continuing where the last left off, Frodo, Sam, and Smeegel (AKA Golem) are headed into Mordor, where they are closer than ever to reaching the fiery lair of Mt. Doom. Once there, Frodo will have to destroy the ring once and for all before it causes them to destroy eachother! Meanwhile, the battle for Helms Deep has come to an end and the war for Middle Earth, itself begins. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Pipin & Mary, & Gandalf, must attack all the power of Mordor with everything they've got, while trying to conjure up new allies to fight alongside them. In the process, Aragorn will be crowned a king, but the forces of Sauron are drawing even nearer to our heroes! Will Frodo and Sam prevail? Or will the temptation of the ring be their downfall? All the revelations are here in "Return of the King". I give the movie itself 5 stars (and would rate it even more if I could!), but this DVD I'm not too sure about yet. I'm actually waiting for them to release the Extended Edition DVD version of the film (I already have the Extended Editions for "The Fellowship of the Ring" & "The Two Towers")because it has more features and is LONGER than the original theactrical release due to some scenes that were taken out. I suggest that those of you who are looking for the best version of the movie should do the same! However, if you're waiting to get your hands on it once this DVD here comes out then go for it! I only hope that they release "The Return of the King" Extended Edition soon! It will be the BEST!

Summary: Absolutely Magnificent
Review: This series all the movies from beginning to end, the cast from begining to end, the special effects, art work, music were all Magnificent. These movies in my opinion go down as one of the best or if not the best ever conceived and brought to the big screen. Rarely can it be said that the attention paid to the artwork and special effects, is so perfectly matched by the attention paid to character development. (something I wish the new star wars movies would have done). Frodo, Sam, Treebeard, the Uru-hai, Aragon, Gandolf all were memorable characters my compliments to the actors who played them and most of all my sincere thanks and gratitude to director Peter Jackson for bringing a series of movies into my life that I will never forget and always talk about to my children (when I have them) and to their children. Because this is a series that will be respected many years from now and sets a standard that I personally feel will never ever be met. I recommend these movies to anyone who enjoys enjoyment. Who values TRUE entertainment. If u have'nt watched these movies then please watch them your missing out on a wonderful experience.

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This movie is the epic ending to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and it action packed beginning to end. I was biting my nails throughout the movie. It is a thrill-ride and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this for anyone who has a DVD library. The whole trilogy itself is a masterpiece, and will be remembered for ages to come. J.R.R. Tolkien is staring down fondly on Peter Jackson and winning 11 Oscars. It swept the Academy Awards, winning everything it was nominated for. What a great film.
