The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition, DVD)

Given the number of rings fans that have watched the first two Lord of the Rings films, I think this review will be especially helpful as it reveals the third rings film the return of the king. It will also help out those novices who have not seen or read any of the spectacles of Lord of the rings. I feel novices will fare much better than reading the book trilogy by watching the movie trilogy. Although I certainly believe the workforce will enjoy the return of the king just the same as those soaked in hobbit lore and surrounded by the history of the Rings such as the Hobbit book. My favourite character in Lord of the rings is an old wizard called Gandalf the ...  Read the complete review

Nothing will ever compare. This..., is there a word for it? Masterpiece fits but does not praise it enough, will always be my favourite movie. Not only does Sir Peter Jackson relive every emotion possible to man and exhibit every value of life that makes life worth living, but has created a cinematic piece that nothing else will ever surpass. The latter has always troubled me because never again will I walk out of a cinema the same way I walked out after watching 'Return of the King' because I know that nothing will ever compare. I envy anyone who is yet to commence the journey of watching 'The Lord of the Rings' and proclaim to ...  Read the complete review

I watched the first one, Fellowship Of The Ring, but didn't review it. I watched the second one, The Two Towers, but didn't review that one either. I watched the third and final one, Return Of The King and just had to review it! I started to read the Lord Of The Rings trilogy years ago but only got as far as half-way through The Two Towers, so when I found out the book was also being made into 3 films I decided to watch them instead. I really enjoyed the first two films although I found The Two Towers a little annoying the way it kept jumping about. However, Return Of The King surpassed all my expectations and is a very fitting end to the Lord Of The ...  Read the complete review

This has been a momentous week. The latest installment in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy became an instant Christmas institution and, extended DVD releases next year aside, this was the last time. There was a distinct end of an era feel in the car as we made our way back from Bournemouth. For the two people who've been cryogenically frozen since World War II, the Lord of the Rings chronicles the adventures of a band of tiny hobbits as they attempt to destroy a magic Ring before the Dark Lord Sauron can recover it and cover the world in darkness. The trilogy has made stars of all its actors, from Orlando 'Because you're worth ...  Read the complete review

I don't know if there's anything I can say about this picture that hasn't been said already. Truth is, the dictionary doesn't contain enough superlatives. Peter Jackson has achieved the impossible. Until recently, no-one believed that a credible movie could be made of Prof. Tolkien's trilogy but no-one realised just how realistic computer graphics would become. But apart from the brilliant digital enhancement, Jackson has worked miracles with the main characters. The casting has been a revelation, and the actors, and the director, and everyone involved in the making of the trilogy, has created something which despite it's ...  Read the complete review
