Not as good as the Fellowship but better than the Two Towers

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2005)

Peter Jacksons' first major task was to make Lord of the Rings into one film. "Impossible", Peter Jackson said, there was no way he could fit all the information into one film. But one of the producers in New Line Cinema said why not make three films because there is three books. It was exactly what the crew making the film wanted to hear. So then the scripts were re-writ to fit three films. After the theatrical release, director Peter Jackson wanted to create an extended version for each film. This was because Peter Jackson wanted to capture it for posterity.
The Lord of the Rings was a cinematic masterpiece, the greatest book of the 20th Century was made into the greatest film trilogy of the 21st Century.
The end of the trilogy is here and what a way to end it. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King deserved an academy award, but it won 11 out of a possible 14, that's a phenomenal record. The journey ends as Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin fight to defend Gondor, the white city. And all journey's come to a successful conclusion, as all the survivors from the battle of the Pellanor Fields go to the Black Gate to give Frodo and Sam one last chance to destroy the One Ring. Great film, Peter Jackson has made a fantastic series, with the help of the film-making crew. the trilogy will be remembered for decades to come.
