An Epic Adventure Ends in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

by   dragonfire88 , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Dec 17, 2003
Pros: Plot, characters, scenery, and effects. Basically everything.
Cons: It is the last movie in the trilogy. Might be too long for some people.
The Bottom Line: The Return of the King is a stunning ending to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is a definite must see movie.
Review: In December of 2001, the first installment of the movie version of The Lord of the Rings was released. I didn’t really know anything about the trilogy until I started to see the previews for the first movie, T he ...

LOTR: The Return of the King: wow, I'm just gonna say, wow.

by   telynor , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Jan 20, 2004
Pros: A film that remains very faithful to the source material.
Cons: Be warned that this is nearly four hours in length, without an intermission.
The Bottom Line: If you seen the first two, I won't need to convince you to see this one. Worth every penny too.
Review: It's a known fact that most sequels stink. Nine times out of ten, a follow-up will lack something of a punch, or they can't grab that energy that was in the first time outing of a story or characters. With a great deal of relief, I can honestly say ...

Return of the King: “Let us make such an end as will be worth remembering!”

by   Greatpilgrim ,  Dec 21, 2003
Pros: the crowning finale of the story
Cons: couldn’t exist without some imperfections
The Bottom Line: A movie that will require many more viewings for me to absorb completely. By no means a bad thing!
Review: (Pre-ramble: I’m afraid I won’t be exorcising any broad spoilers from this review for the sake of people who have had shopping bags over their heads this past week. I’ll try to group any important story and character spoilers together in one spot for ...

An Epic Conclusion. (And a 1,000 mûmakil!)

by   DavidK93 ,  Jun 1, 2004
Pros: Performances, Costumes, Sets, Special Effects, Score
Cons: One major plot segment from the book is missing.
The Bottom Line: The conclusion to a more than worthy screen treatment of one of the most important fantasy tales of all time, encompassing love, war, friendship, loyalty, avarice, deceit, and bravery.
Review: Well, aren’t I just setting a fine example for the young Epinionators? Here I am, more than five months after I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in the theatre, and only now am I writing my review of it. Why, the DVD is even ...

Am I Betraying My Jedi Heritage by Falling in Love With LOTR?

by   JediKermit , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Dec 23, 2003
Pros: Direction, effects, acting...this has become the new standard for Movie Trilogies
Cons: Give us an intermission, for Pete's (Jackson) sake!
The Bottom Line: From the first scene, I was hooked--and a movie series that I started out resenting has finished as one that I consider indispensable.
Review: Yesterday I was “finally” able to see “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.” Less than a week after it came out, and yet an eternity of half-reading other peoples reviews to avoid spoilers, but trying to get a gauge of how people felt about it. The ...

Peter Jackson's Third Installment: The Return of the King

by   Psychovant , lead in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Dec 17, 2003
Pros: Visually stunning, emotionally draining, deeper characters...
Cons: ...
The Bottom Line: You owe it to yourself to see this on the big screen.
Review: Are you ready for this?... Without hesitation I tell you honestly that Peter Jackson has truly managed to save the best for last. Yes you heard me right the best of the trilogy and, with a running time of three hours and twenty minutes, you better ...

The Comprehensive Return of the King Review by Panguitch

by   panguitch , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Dec 18, 2003
Pros: Mortensen. Noble. Merry and Pippin grow up. And again, the Rohirrim.
Cons: It’s a long wait for the extended version.
The Bottom Line: The final rise, climax and denouement of the greatest story ever told. If you think this review is too long, you might not be the right person for this movie.
Review: I’ve already heard some complaints that Peter Jackson’s The Return of the King makes no sense as a movie. The nicest thing I can say about this is that these people have forgotten one of the things—the most obvious thing—that ...

For good or for evil, this is the end

by   carl_lazarevic , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Dec 17, 2003
Pros: Cast, direction, story, characters, effects.
Cons: Arwen, 3 half hours and I had a large Coke, I nearly burst.
The Bottom Line: It's not quite up to the books standard, but could never have achieved that. Jackson has now completed his trilogy and I cannot imagine the films being done better.
Review: I was first introduced to the world of Tolkien 2 years ago to the day, strange as it seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in a theatre enjoying the first Lord Of The Rings film, The Fellowship Of The Ring, yet it was also on that ...

by   hollynz ,  Dec 20, 2003
Pros: The Nazguls were fantastic.
Cons: It is the end ....
The Bottom Line: A fitting finale to a brilliant trilogy.
Review: Just back from a trip to town to do a spot of Christmas shopping and more importantly, to catch the latest offering in the Lord of the Rings trilogy ... The Return of the King. We ended up at the 5pm screening as the night screening was fully ...

The Lord of the Rings, is the best 1.00 movie I've ever seen.

by   cntaur5 ,  Feb 13, 2004
Pros: I enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it.
Cons: You may need a restroom break it's a little long.
The Bottom Line: The final movie based on J.R.R.Tolkien's trilogy of books is an excellent 5 star movie you should not miss, I can't wait to purchase the DVD.
Review: After reading reviews written by Epinions.com’s best movie reviewers including; Category Lead’s,P sychovant , and V ormancian, Top Reviewer’s ...
