The Best of the Three

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2005)

(Possible Spoilers)
In the land of Mordor Frodo is finally closing in on Mount Doom. Aragorn and his company are seeking dead soldiers and Gandalf is smacking people with his staff. Most of this would not make any sense to those who did not see the first two. The Return of the King is the final installment of the now Legendary Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Though the first two (The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers) were done very well and seemed to follow the book I felt this one did the best job of them all. Even though Shelob was added to Return of the King instead of its predecessor I felt it made the movie better. The actual construction Minas Tirith and just seeing the entire Orc army surrounding it was breathtaking.
Elijah Wood gives what I think is his best of the three movies and is supported by a superb job by Sean Astin and Ian MacKellan. The movie, I think was deserving of all eleven Oscar's and all the hype it got. the acting was strong, the visual effects were great, and the story was one only J.R.R. Tolkien could create.
5 Out of 5 Stars.
