The Best Finale of ANY trilogy ever made!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2006)

I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely loved this film. I'd watch it every day if my parents let me. It is so amazing: the music, the acting, the battles, and everything else in between. I just don't know where to begin.
***Spoilers***
The movie opens with a flashback of Smeagol, and how he got the ring, and Deagol, his "friend" who he choked to death to get the ring. We see how Smeagol went mad, and turned very ugly. It is a sad way of showing his past, but it had to be done.
It takes about 10 or 11 minutes for the title, "The Return of the King" to come on, but that didn't seem to matter to me.
In the Extended version, which is over 4 hours long, we see a scene with Saruman that was cut from the theater version. This scene is so awesome, you'd have to buy it to see what happens.
As we progress through the movie, Pippen looks into the Palatir that Saruman had, and sees a glimpse of Sauran's plan. We see the battle at Osgiliath, and we see Faramir meet Pippin in Minas Turith. We see the villainy of Gollum, and how Gollum is poisoning Frodo against Sam.
If this movie has one weakness, it's when Frodo sends Sam home. In the book, they were always together, except when the Orcs took the unconscious Frodo into the tower in Mordor.
The final battle in Minas Turith is a great one. And it is well worth your time.
The music of Shelob's lair is the best ever, and it is somewhat scary if you listen to just the music from the soundtrack.
Frodo and Sam are soon reunited, and Mount Doom is very close.
I'll let you watch the rest, to find out what happens.
This is a very long movie, so if you have a lot of time to spare, watch this movie, and you won't be disappointed.
10/10. #2 best movie.
