The Best of the Trilogy

The Lord of the Rings is a somewhat dull trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring had enough exciting moments to warrant a recommendation, but The Two Towers was inexcusably boring. The final chapter in the trilogy, while still being tedious in parts, is by far the most entertaining.

The plot has not changed in this third installment. Frodo and Sam are trying to get to the land of Mordor to destroy the ring with the (supposed) help of Gollum.

The film's opening is the strongest opening of the entire series. We see Gollum as a hobbit (his name was Smeagol) fishing, when his friend finds a ring in the river. The two fight, and it ultimately ends in Smeagol strangling his "friend." We see years pass as Smeagol slowly transforms into the Gollum. The transformation is grotesque, and ...

"LOTR: The Return Of The King" by Yojimbo

Frodo reaches Mordor where Gollum reveals his true colours while Gandalf and the fellowship prepare to defend Gondor against the full might of Sauron's armies. All the same strengths and weaknesses of the previous films are still in evidence for the final part of the trilogy. The hobbits are still mildly annoying (although at least in this one they finally grow a pair), the elves seem to serve no purpose other than to slow the film to a snail's pace and the narrative logic is once again questionable (namely flights of giant eagles and ghostly armies with a debt to the king of Gondor that appear at the nick of time that were never before mentioned). The villain also garner's too little screen time and is dispensed with far too easily. On the other hand, battle sequences on a never seen bef...

The Greatest Movie Ever Made

"Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King" is quite simply the greatest movie ever made in the history of movies. In fact, the only close competition for that title comes from the first two "Lord Of The Rings" movies. Its one big story, but there is little doubt that "Return of the King" delivers a perfect epic climax to the best movie triology of all time. Peter Jackson has done a magnificent job of bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's brilliant novel to heart racing and vibrant life. The casting is perfect. The acting is terrific. Production values are all subperb and state of the art. In addttion, the battle sequences are some of the best ever put to film. Movies just don't get any better than this. It is tied for the most Oscar wins ever, including Best Picture. For once, the Academy ...
