Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) by Ballpark_Frank — 25 Nov 2012

Before this final film came out, I'd been thoroughly disappointed by "Fellowship", and slightly annoyed by "Towers". However, this conclusion easily makes me forget about my feelings towards those other two.

Some people might immediately point to the long running time. For once, I actually was sitting in the theatre, oblivious to the time, and wondering whether they would include this or that scene from the book.

In fact, I still wish there'd been something about the "Scouring of the Shire". Still, it's hard to find anything not to like about it. Well, one little annoyance which was spread over the three films: making Gimli into a 'comedy-relief' character.

Otherwise, if someone can wade through the first two films, then they're be greatly rewarded with this outing.
