"The last chapter"
The final part in this epic trilogy is the most emotionally impacting of them all. It is the very final struggle to the end of all things and all that leads up to the end is amazing. From the stunning set pieces to the amazingly huge battles, The Return of the King is the most action packed of them all.
"Stunning almost beyond belief!"
With the final part of his Lord Of the Rings trilogy, The Return Of the King, Peter Jackson seems to have harnessed the strengths of the first two movies and created an all time classic right up there with Lawrence Of Arabia.
It seems at times as if David Lean has been reborn in the film-makers. They
rarely make 'em like this these days.
The achievement in even one of the films in this trilogy is hard to fathom but
when you consider what Jackson and his team have pulled off with all three it
would be unbelievable where it not for all the evidence on screen.
ROTK has all of the poetry and whimsy of Fellowship and all of the adventure and war of Towers.
Once again there is not a single area the film-makers have not achieved greatness in. The cinematography, acting, costumes, visual effects and music are as good as you will see anywhere.
As good as the enormous battle scenes are (and they will not be beaten in spectacle for years) it is the “smaller” scenes that stick in the memory – Pippin singing for the Steward as Faramir and his men ride to their doom, the ride up Minas Tirith and the stunning lighting of the beacons scene which is probably single handedly going to increase tourism numbers to NZ.
As if all of this is not enough you still get a terrifyingly realistic spider, an army of the dead, huge “Olyphants” on the charge, the reforging of the sword of the king and a very satisfying conclusion to a trilogy that will be remembered for a long time.
ROTK's eleven Oscar's were fully earned and this DVD set does the movie justice. The extra's are great and the image quality stunning.
An absolute must have DVD.

It may be long, but it is well worth it. The special effects are incredible with tonnes of action but the story has not been sacrificed. I was in tears towards the end, and in tears again during the final credits. It has everything the previous two movies had plus more.
You could watch Return of the King, without seeing the first two movies and still enjoy it. This is truly Peter Jackson's finest piece of work.
