Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) by Callan D — 06 Jul 2018

The Lord of the Rings: Return Of The King is an absolutely outstanding ending to a truly phenomenal trilogy! Just like the two other films, it's visually breathtaking. It's very emotionally powerful giving a great but sad ending to the trilogy.

The performances by everyone in the film are incredible as they all do such a great job with their characters! The huge battle scenes are slightly frightening but are definitely fun to watch and it's very satisfying to see the good guys outnumbered and backup coming to drive all the orcs away.

I'll say that it's the best film in the trilogy because of how good an ending it is. If I had to give an order, it would be this as #1, the first as #2 and the middle one as #3. All of them are phenomenal and there's no doubt about it.

This is my favorite, but not by far because of what I said. Again, Peter Jackson does an incredible job directing and creating the film so well. The screenplay adaptation is extremely well written for the screen based of the book.

This definitely deserves to be a winner of eleven Academy Awards which this and only two other films have won. That definitely shows how good it is. Overall, it's an emotional and satisfying ending that fans will most surely enjoy and is again, phenomenal.
