The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Movie Review by Chris Stuckmann

Chris Stuckmann reviews The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

[Myvoetisseer]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the height of cinematic achievement.

[ChrisStuckmann]

My apologies for accidentally saying Saruman instead of Sauron.

[loyalcompanion]

thumbs up if  the gollum transformation scared you to bits when you were a kid

[Legitlin]

i cried like a bitch at the end of this like every ending it had i was crying...

[TheFamilyguyfan]

I'm not gonna lie the ending made me a little teary eyed

[Cazanator]

In my opinion, Return of the King is the greatest film ever made.  It ticked all the boxes which makes a film and end to a trilogy so epic

[kurisucosmo]

Seriously, I felt like all 3 movies should have won everything they were nominated for. But the fact that Return of the King practically swept the Oscars was so epic. I mean, not one fantasy movie has ever won an award, or at least, not the Best Picture award. And Return of the King won like 25 awards in one night.

The movie was so masterfully done, that not even the dumb, old men of the board on the Oscars could deny it. They should have just given up and handed Viggo Mortensen and Elijah Wood the Best Actor award (and yes, I'm saying they should've made two trophies just for them). But really, every single actor in this trilogy deserved an award. I can't put into words how EPIC and amazing this movie and the whole trilogy are. Whatever I say would be an injustice.

For me, The Lord of the Rings will always be one movie, split in three chapters.

[hussain]

My favorite movie of all time. Legendary and epic!

[ErikCPianoman]

I’m currently watching the series again with a friend who hasn’t seen them yet. The movies are as good today as when i saw them in theaters. We’ve just The Return of the King left and I can’t wait to watch it. My favorite of the trilogy as well!

[eclipsesonic]

Return of the King is my favourite of the trilogy too. For me, my ranking goes like this:

1. The Return of the King: 10/10
2. The Fellowship of the Ring: 10/10
3. The Two Towers: 10/10

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is my favourite film trilogy and it's in my top 5 favourite films of all time!

[rockyrobinson]

The reason why it has those "YES" moments is because they didn't ruin it in the trailers or tv ads...like the movies today !

[Akron]

I would ride with Theoden to the gates of Hell itself after that speech.

Peter Jackson was super impressed with the contribution of Andy Serkis over the first two movies, so the opening scene of Return of the King was added at the last minute as a little reward/thankyou/recognition for Serkis to have a proper scene where he isn't just mo-capped CGI Gollum.

[edipus]

No words can describe how good this film is!, not only my favorite part of the trilogy, but my favorite film of all time!
From the opening shot of Smeagol/Gollum fixing the worm into his fishing hook to the end credits with beautiful drawings of all major characters and events in LOTR, I was totally blown away!
I could watch ROTK a 100 times and still get emotional and enjoy it like the first time!

[sujoshmukherjee]

fellowship: great movie and amazing start to the series 9.2/10

two towers: ups the scale with more darkness and best battle sequence ever 10/10

return of the king: most epic finale to most epic trilogy ever! 10/10

the hobbit: too much dwarves much lighter tone, a little too childish though 8/10

[abdullahalmosalami]

Such epic movies. And man, towards the end, when Sam is carrying Frodo... Oh man. And the ending. Oh God. I just couldn't take it man. I wanted it to continue on and on and on. Unbelievable trilogy.

[alecmcgrathofcanada]

I'm surprised that he never mentioned how he cried like a baby at the end when Aragorn and everyone kneeled before the hobbits. I cried.

[addrusehassan]

Theoden's speech is the best part man, got me goosebumps each time...
