Summary: Ride for Ruin and the End of the Word!
Review: Unlike so many trilogies *cough* *cough* matrix revolutions *cough* *cough* The Return of the King really gave Peter Jackson's epic The Lord Of the Rings the send off it so deserved. Great acting and great pieces of eye candy (the Battle of the Pelannor Fields is simply stunning)... See this movie that's all i can say, its brilliant, THE great trilogy of our time

Summary: RETURN OF THE KING RULES THEM ALL!!!
Review: Peter jackson went all out on making this movie the most memorable of the three films.I enjoyed very much the fellowship and two towers,but this movie had all the elements which made those movies great and expanded them on a greater scale.I absolutely loved all the visual effects seen in the movie and I thought that the white city was the best thing seen in the movie.All of the actors did a great job in portraying very powerful human emotions.The battle scenes were truly spectacular especially the battle of pelennoir fields.The plot was well done and led to the final climax of the movies.This is truly the MOVIE of the year.What are you waiting for and go see this bad ass movie?

Summary: Incredible Conclusion to a Mind-blowing Trilogy
Review: Each movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy ends with a bang. On their first viewings, I was a little shaky in my enjoyment as the movies began. However, somewhere in the middle of each film, I realized that I was completely immersed in the story. The Fellowship of the Ring has an emotional climax. The Two Towers concludes with spine-tingling action sequences. And it is safe to say that the culmination in The Return of the King is both stirring and touching.The very end of the Return of the King is more similar to an epilogue of a novel than a movie. Though there is much in this film, the filmmakers take their time in developing some scenes. The soundtrack eloquently mixes much of the music in the first two films and adds a few beautiful melodies. Acting is first rate, perhaps even better than in The Two Towers. This movie has its small share of Hollywood moments, but is completely redeemed by its general faithfulness to the book. The Return of the King is a beautifully made and fulfilling finale to the remarkable Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Summary: THE LORD OF THE RINGS is now a complete film
Review: While the first two films in this trilogy depicted the Exposition, Narrative Hook and Rising Action, THE RETURN OF THE KING marks the climax and resolution of one of film history's finest epic treasures. Despite clocking in at an admittedly bum-numbing and bladder straining three and a half hours, ROTK contains too many rich and delectable morsels to be savored in one sitting.
Capitalizing upon, enhancing and appealing to our collective need for magic, mystery and above all - Hope, Grace and Redemption, THE LORD OF THE RINGS serves as the effective Christian metaphor for our times. Characters lose their innocence, gain respect, accept the yokes of responsibility and learn the truth of Thomas Wolfe's immortal line "You can never go home again." Director Peter Jackson fills his wide screen with fascinating faces, draw-dropping action, frightening monsters, breath-takingly beautiful production design and stunning natural scenery. Along the way, he actually improves Tolkien's narrative by infusing visual historical references (I love the Higgins boat-like landing craft!) as well as embracing Tolkien's aforementioned religious underpinnings. One of the film's lasting themes is "In order for civilization to survive, great sacrifices must be made". Amen. Granted that while THE LORD OF THE RINGS will look great on DVD, once it is unleashed in its uber-packaged extended DVD form, such a film requires the big screen viewing experience. GO SEE IT NOW! Just be sure to go to the bathroom first. And don't buy the giant drink.

Summary: The best film ever made, and a few sage words for George Row
Review: To George (who previously wrote that parts of this movie made no sense), every part of the movie made sense, I wish you had taken the time to watch the other two brilliantly made movies so you could enjoy this one to its fullest. Sauroman was in this movie, however, not in his original form. If one remembers the second film, then one will surely remember that Sauroman was defeated, he thus was turned into an orc. Do you remember the white orc that looked like he had a tumor growing out of his head? Yes this was indeed Sauroman, hence the reason why Gandalf and the orc (Sauroman) paused and glanced at each other for a good while.
Now to the movie. I have seen hundreds, probably thousands of movies and this one tops them all. It has everything one can ask for in a movie: action, suspense, horror, comedy, drama, etc. All of these elements are combined to bring the audience one hell of a movie. It may have been 4 hours long but it didn't seem it. I anxiously awaited every coming second of this movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. All the pieces were amazingly wrapped up, but you got every last drop of those pieces. People in the audience actually cheered after every part, you don't see that very often. The other two films were snubbed by the oscars, and if this film is, then i don't ever want to see another movie again, because if a film tops this i think i'd pass out and die. The Return of The King is singlehandedly the best piece of cinema ever made, and nothing will top it.

Summary: How can one complain?
Review: My my...somehow I cannot believe that it is over. That was 4 years waiting, what film can inspire that sort of devotion now? I'd like to say this, if you have not read the books, then you have no right to complain about the end of this movie. Yes, yes. Saruman is not in there, but what was the point in Saruman at the end other than to prove that the Shire-folk could stand up and fight (like a mini-version of the happenings with Sauron and Gondor). There was no other way to end the movie, simply because that is exactly how the book ends! For those that seem to need a detailed description of all the characters that pop up in this movie, please let me remind you that Tolkien spends perhaps 3 sentances describing the "mouth of Sauron", the main opponent to the Lords of the West at the end battle before the gates of Mordor, so let's not get too picky on Jackson not giving us a detailed picture of the life of purely non-characters in the movie. Of course I expect that there are many deleted scenes to be watched in the extended version that will eventually come out on DVD (Darn Jackson! keeps me on the hook for another year!) I personally loved this film and I love the books, so there can be an appreciation for both.

Summary: A Grand Finale
Review: Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings series (altogether) is the greatest film and epic I have ever seen. Personally, I place it far and away ahead of the Godfather and the original Star Wars trilogies. Nothing comes close. Such detail- such amazing scenes and battles- and without a doubt amazing characters who come to life on the screen. Return of the King is the grand finale to the epic and the most moving chapter of the three. I'm sure many others will agree- the scene with Frodo and Sam on the mountainside of Doom- that scene has so much power, a true testament to the friendship and loyalty of Sam to Frodo. The music soars and mounts as Sam helps Frodo move up the mountain in a moment on film that just tugs at your heartstrings. You cannot miss this movie- this is the movie event of our time- maybe for all time.

Summary: Best of the three!!!
Review: Wow, this movie was amazing. I attended the midnight showing with a bunch of my friends and it was all that we hoped for and more. It is the best movie that I have really ever seen. In the past week I have seen it three times and it never gets old like other movies. This is a MUST SEE movie for anyone. But it may be inappropriate for younger children due to some scary and violent scenes. But overall it is a great movie and all Rings fans must see it.
