I expected a lot from 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' so I am delighted to see it produce on so many levels. I, funnily enough, wouldn't actually say it's necessarily the most perfect execution - what with the plot coincidences and extreme character armour. But that doesn't matter one jot whatsoever, as the story wraps up in arguably the best way - at least to watch - possible. It has so much heart and feeling to it.

The story involving the characters of Elijah Wood, Sean Astin and Andy Serkis remained the most interesting to me, I was very satisfied with how it concluded in regards to them. I also enjoyed the bits we got of Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen & Co. All that added to the beautiful look and creation of the film, with the world coming alive splendidly.

If I were to nit-pick further, I would say the run time is slightly too long. The pacing is absolutely fine, very good in fact, but I coulda done without a few of the many end scenes - a lot of which are necessary and welcome, but a couple could've been left out to allow the viewer to imagine how the world continued. That's just how I feel mind, I'm sure I'm one of only a few that think that way.

Back onto the positives: how about those battle sequences? Astonishingly good. A sensational trilogy, no question about it. I look forward to seeing 'The Hobbit' films.… Expand

This beautiful world that Tolkien created was ideally suited to the film adaptation format. 2003 film, which to this day has no equal. Peter Jackson, the director of this picture, can be proud of what he did. This is a story of true friendship and mutual assistance. Will the elf and the gnome fight together for good? What? An elf and a gnome? Can not be? But if they are friends then okay. Justice, love, friendship, the right to peaceful existence, everything that is worth fighting for and dying comes to the fore. Middle-earth is beautiful, it worked out beautifully, the shooting locations were uniquely suited, and all this was transferred to the film, including masses of special effects, so that it is impossible to come off for all the series.… Expand

The Lord of the Rings is one long story that has been divided equally among three movies. Because of this there is virtually no major difference between the them, and all the three movies have received almost the same ratings. Normally inThe Lord of the Rings is one long story that has been divided equally among three movies. Because of this there is virtually no major difference between the them, and all the three movies have received almost the same ratings. Normally in trilogies the stories do not directly pick up from where the last one left but rather these are three different stories, because of which it is possible to have two great movies and one movie which does not live up to them (Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Christopher Nolan's Batman, the original Star Wars trilogy, Godfather etc), or there is one great movie while the other two don't live up to that (Zack Snyder's Superman, Star Wars prequel and sequel trilogies, Jurassic Park etc).
Here the risk was much bigger. Since there is just one story, either the entire trilogy would have been good or the entire trilogy would have been bad. This is why the movies were so long. The story is set in a fantasy world and not everyone has read the original books by JRR Tolkien. So Peter Jackson had to elaborate every minor detail. There should have been no questions left. The audience should've had a clear idea of what they were watching. Normally such things are only possible in TV shows which are book adaptations like Game of Thrones or The Man in the High Castle since they have enough time in their hands to explain everything. This, however, was a movie series. This is the reason why the runtime is so long. The total runtime of the trilogy is 10+ hours, and 12+ hours if you watch the extended cut.
Another major problem that could have plagued this movie, if it wasn't addressed, was the number of characters and the fact that all of them were in different places doing different things. There were some minor characters right in the beginning of the story and some in the middle. All of them had to be humanised, something which is possible only if we get to know more about them. Because of this the story is moved forward such that we are made to care about all of the people. While we ask what happened to Gimli and Legolas in the battle, we are also worried that Frodo has been tricked by Gollum and is about to be eaten by a giant spider. The direction does not shift in the bias of any of the characters, otherwise the ones the audience cares about would have been left behind. People often make fun of the half-hour long epilogue shown in the end of The Return of the King, but imagine if it was not there. So many characters would have received vague endings. This was meant to assure that all the good characters got good endings and the bad guys got bad endings.
I'd also take a moment to talk about Gimli and Legolas' relation. In the beginning they both hated each other but later on they grow to become friends. This is another great message that the movie sends us. In my previous review of philosophy I didn't mention it because it was seen in this movie. It talks about how we hate some people based on their appearance, their beliefs, their way of life. But we end up becoming friends with those same people once we actually interact with them. People were never meant to hate each other. This is something we are taught to do. This is also seen when Aragorn unleases the Army of the Dead. They never wanted to work with the living because of their hatred, but when one of them came forward and made the request, they gave in. It is these small moments that show the humanity in all the characters.
And finally, what makes it a legacy? Today everyone knows about The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf is the first thing someone imagines when they hear the word "wizard", in spite of there being a more popular book adaptation movie franchise which is literally about wizards. So many RPG games have their stories set in the manner of "some characters with different abilities go out on a dangerous yet exotic adventure". Elijah Wood has become world famous for his role as Frodo Baggins. Gollum, in spite of being the same annoying character found in all fantasy movies, is more popular than Jar Jar or Dobby. All of this is possible because of the way the story unfolds. Everyone who was evil was simply so because of the circumstances, and those who were good were because of how much the story emphasised on their actions. This coupled with great direction and a good world building made it so popular.
The Lord of the Rings is one of the era defining movies of our times. It looks like a painting brought to life, one that we used to look at in fairy tales and nursery rhymes. It is the first thing that comes to someone's mind when they think of a fantasy adventure set in the medieval era. The patience of the creators and the fans is what made this trilogy so powerful. I really hope we get to see more such adaptations of books that we haven't heard about. This one has made a benchmark that will be hard to reach in the near future unless a miracle happens.… Expand

La película puede ser considera la mejor de la historia SI QUIERES, ¿por qué? Solo escucha su banda sonora, cada tema tiene un relación con la escena y a los sentimientos de cada personaje; el guion tiene un fallo con respecto a la renuncia de inmortalidad de Arwen, pero como dice Zowl: " es mejor no tener razones, que tener razones tontas", una por ejemplo es cómo encuentran a Michael Corleone en El Padrino 1, es tan absurdo que parece un Deus Ex Machina; el maquillaje está tan bien hecho que por eso envejeció bien y es creíble hasta ahora; la rotación de y movimiento de cámaras, como el cuando Gollum recupera el anillo y la cámara se acerca, demostrando que Gollum tiene el poder y el destino del mundo en sus manos, cuando se aleja la cámara representa lo pequeño que es ante el mundo pero aún así tiene poder sobre todos. Solo es un pequeño resumen de todo lo que la película puede mostrar. Sí puede ser considerada la mejor película de la historia porque los gustos son subjetivos pero hablamos si la quiere infravalorar hablando OBJETIVAMENTE, mejor guarda silencio porque puede terminae destruyendo brutalmente incluso a El Padrino. Para que te hagas una ideo de hablar objetivamente, solo mira el canal de Jaime Altozano, Kai47, DaniboubeTV y Jordi Maquivello. Si quiere hablar OBJETIVAMENTE entonces tendrás que darle la contra estos 4 canales o buscar una película, los 3 primeros se unieron a hacer un tabajo de esta obra y terminó siendo uno de casi 10 horas, Dani solo aportó su opinión. No critico tus gustos, puede que tengas otras películas en la mente que para ti son mejores pero si quiere darlo a conocer, demuéstralo hablando del trabajo en fragamentos, no solo infravalores e insultes otras películas porque no son de tu gusto y cuando te pregunten no puedas ni defender tus gustos, solo afrentas e insultos. Respecto a al argumento de nuestro amigo, me vi casi 900 películas desde zombis con maquellaje y sangre con tempera, hasta franquicias como El Padrino, Star Wars, Harry Potter, el UCM; hasta king kong en blanco y negro, El Ciudadano kane.… Expand

Es imposible explicar con palabras como es que esta película adapta a la perfección el basto universo de Tolkien. ¿Mejor trilogía de la historia? posiblemente, sí.

Best film ever. Io potrei morire per lui. Se dovessi scegliere se sacrificare mia madre o questo film la scelta sarebbe ovvia

Another mixed bag. There was no scouring of the Shire. Sean Astin ran rings round Elijah Wood, showing more emotion in his last scenes than Wood managed in all three movies combined. There was lots of forced conflict that wasn't in the books.Another mixed bag. There was no scouring of the Shire. Sean Astin ran rings round Elijah Wood, showing more emotion in his last scenes than Wood managed in all three movies combined. There was lots of forced conflict that wasn't in the books. Interpreting Sauron as an evil lighthouse was silly. As was the ghost army. Only Theoden, Eowyn & Sam came across well. Jackson knew what made LOTR good, but not what made it great. And to me his movies will always be fun action flicks that missed the point.… Expand

The movie with the million endings that all of them were absolutely needed. The epic conclusion to the greatest journey in movie history is nothing sort of emotional and epic.

One of favourite movies of all time. The best cinematic experience I’ve ever had. The battles scenes and amazing and the acting is top notch. I believe it does a great job at capturing Tolkiens spirit.

Why a nine? Because it is my least favorite story of the three movies and books. It is expertly done, it just drags a little. But still, nine out of ten is nearly perfect!

The final chapter of LOTR, with a record duration of 3 hours and 20 minutes, is a milestone in cinematic history. An event film without flaws, which concludes the trilogy worthily and which leaves a lot of nostalgia for the fans of today.

It perfectly captures the spirit and scope of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, while adding its own cinematic magic and emotional depth. The film is a triumph of storytelling, cinematography, music, and acting, with every element working together to create a masterpiece.

I have watched The Return of the King so many times that I've lost count, and it still manages to amaze me every time. The film's battle sequences are some of the most intense and exhilarating I've ever seen, while its quieter moments are filled with emotion and meaning. The acting is superb, with each character delivering a powerful and unforgettable performance. The music by Howard Shore is a masterpiece in its own right, elevating the film to even greater heights.

The Return of the King is a fitting conclusion to the journey of Frodo, Sam, and the rest of the Fellowship, and it leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. It is a film that rewards multiple viewings, as each time you watch it, you discover something new and profound. It is a true masterpiece of cinema, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. 10/10.… Expand
