One of the greatest epic films, if not THE greatest, to ever grace the screen

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2005)

My statement holds true. If you don't agree, go find baseball bat and beat yourself silly.
Anyhow, Return of the King is the third part in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. The third nearly picks up where the Two Towers left off. We see the broken Fellowship making their way to end their quest to destroy the One Ring. Frodo and Sam make their way towards Mount Doom, led by the nefarious Gollum. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli take their path towards Minas Tirith, capital of Gondor, where Aragorn is destined to become king. And Merry and Pippin go their separate ways; Merry travels with the Rohirrim while Pippin goes with Gandalf by a different road to Minas Tirith than Aragorn.
Everything about this film is nearly perfect. The characters, the dialogue, the scenery, all done in the most professional manner I have ever witnessed. The movie truly shines during the battle scenes. These scenes (particulary Pelennor Fields) are some of the largest battles ever witnessed on film. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY! And ultimately this movie is really all about Sam. I mean this guy owns the last 3/4 of the film! WARNING: you may need some Kleenex for that part of the movie!
To sum it up, Return of the King is one of the greatest epics ever. Out of the three films, this one is truly the finest. Overall, this film is a serious contender to other greats out there. I very highly recommend buying this movie immediately! It is worth the 3h 20min of film. If your very enthusiastic, go buy the Extended Editions of all three films!
P.S. Best to view this movie on some big screen t.v. with surround sound. Especially when it reaches the Battle of Pelennor Fields, you will want something with a kick!
