Mostly Great, with a few bad moments.

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2006)

I like the Lord of The Rings trilogy and this is certinately the best of the 3 movies. It has lots of battle scenes, which is always a plus in this sort of film, and some funny moments too. There is some pretty impressive computer animation, and the actors are mostly very good. Unfortunately, we do not see much of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, three of the main characters in former films; and considering that the title is "Return of the King", I expected a bit more of an Aragorn-based storyline. Nevertheless, the film is very good and a great conclusion the the prequels. Another gripe I have with this film is that the ending is quite drawn out. It is almost as though they had a choice of 5 possible endings and couldn't decide, so they just put them all in. As the film is over 3 hours long, by the end you almost want it to finish, but it just goes on and on! Still, it is a must see!
