Lord of the rings. Return of the king

don't know why but i feel like this may well be my favorite of the 3. it has a different feel than the others, as 3rd ones often do.

This is a very well made movie. I think it's the best in the trilogy!

THE BEST MOVIE EVER

This is a great ending to the epic tale of Lord of the Rings.

Although I'm generally not into fantasy films -- mostly romance and action/drama -- but I must say thanks to my friends for dragging me out to see the first LOTR movie. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The films have everything I love in movies: romance, action, drama, great dialog, great chemistry of the actors and amazing scenery. It's the complete package. I saw all three films and absolutely loved Return of the King. I own it and watch it on occasion. Although the film can in no way be considered a "chick flick," but you definitely feel the strong romantic attractions and has one of the best kissing scenes I've ever seen in Hollywood. Many times I just play the ending of Return over and over. I start where Frodo wakes up. It is one of the best movie endings ever!!! The the actors in the series were simply perfect for their selected roles. All the films were great and Return of the King totally rocked!

There are very few instances where a movie based on a book is just as good as the book itself but the final installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of them. The movie had lots of action, and an epic final showdown with Gollum in Mordor and with Sauron's armies at the Black Gate.

The ending is fantastic.

This is almost a classic. Lord of the Rings is a great movie.

This is one of the few cases the movies are as good as the books. This is the best movie in the series. Worth watching for anyone.

very nice

It's not often that I like the movie as much as the book, but the movies for the Lord of the Rings triology were superb! A bit different than the books, but the writers and director did an excellent job of narrowing down such long books that had such detail.

LOTR: Return of the King won Best Picture and Best Director in 2003. It won a total of ELEVEN Academy Awards that year! Which is amazing for a film, let alone a fantasy film.

The extra footage on the extended versions of the trilogy, as well as the TON of extra footage on the DVD sets is so much fun to watch. I love the backstory, and hearing what the crew went threw as they filmed three movies simultaneously.

I love the epic battles in this movie!!

i so totally knew that aragorn had a secret identity!!!!!!! hotness... SO WORTH MY DAY!!

A truly epic movie made from an even more amazing book!

It doesn't get better than this!

I don't know all of the rules of the sport of Quidditch from Harry Potter. This, I consider a positive thing for my sense of self-respect. But I think I know enough of the rules to say that the entire Lord of the Rings premise is really one long Quidditch match. And there goes my self-image.

Let's start with Quidditch. A small, golden, flying ball, called the Snitch, is let loose. This is the OneRing. The Seekers (one on each team) are trying to claim the Snitch for themselves. Whoever gets it, wins. Frodo is the Seeker for the good guys, and Sauron is the Seeker for the bad guys. But we have to stretch this analogy because Frodo already has the Ring but hasn't won. He just has to keep Sauron from getting it by taking it to a volcano in Sauron's backyard and destroying it. Sauron just needs to get the Ring to win. But it's pretty close. So the Seekers are the only ones that matter, really. Getting the Snitch/Ring is worth a gazillion points. They are the endgame. But. This does not three movies make, or eight in the case of Harry Potter. So.

We have everyone else. In Quidditch, there's a few Chasers, a few Beaters, and one Keeper on each team. They stay occupied by beating each other up with clubs and balls until the Seekers win the game. There are points involved, but they don't really matter because they can't surpass the endgame of Ring-getting. I see Aragorn as a Keeper for good, and Saruman as Keeper for bad. They're relatively more important than the other peons, but only because the writer said so. The only thing that's important for 'Everyone Else' to do is stay alive so that there's some people left to hang out when one side finally wins.

I think that LotR and Quidditch would work a lot more sensibly if each side just went after the Snitch/Ring as a whole group. Yes, it would be constant chaos, and the Ring is supposedly the most corrupting thing ever, but I'm reasonably sure it would condense these stories down to one movie, max.
