Weary hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin), venture further into the dark realm of Mordor, guided by the increasingly desperate Gollum (Andy Serkis), the two-faced former owner of the Ring that Frodo must destroy in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) contend with the deranged ruler Denethor (John Noble), at the once-mighty city of Minas Tirith, as Merry (Dominic Monaghan) joins Eowyn (Miranda Otto) and the Riders of Rohan to hold back the forces of Sauron. Amidst the chaos, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must rise to his destiny, aided by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) in assembling allies for a massive battle that will decide the fate of Middle-earth. With RETURN OF THE KING, Jackson brings J.R.R. Tolkien's world-renowned tale to a stunning conclusion. As with THE TWO TOWERS, the director deftly weaves various storylines together in one remarkable scene after another. Spectacular visuals complement Jackson's sharp focus on the characters and their emotional battles. While the special effects help to create huge battles and frightening creatures on a previously unseen scale, they never outshine the excellent ensemble of actors who bring the heart of the story home. A truly astounding work of filmmaking, THE RETURN OF THE KING skilfully concludes one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history.

Reviews Review created: 20/03/08 by: legendarystu ( 5 ) I love anything to do withthe Lord of the rings franchise because in the film they hired the best Actors/Actresses around; the special effects were astounding but kept the quality and soul of the story. A brilliant acheivment for the world of film. I wanted to collect the trilogy on DVD, aswell as VHS because I've been hearing rumours of the prequel, The Hobbit coming out in 2009. I would recommend this film out of the three because of its climax. that is all. From LegendaryStu Review ID: 10000000006270720 Was this review helpful?
