Review : Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

um... everybody who read the book knew that

I know but have you thought about the people who haven't read the books?
Not trying to be rude! 😄

I'm going to see it tomorrow, and I CAN'T WAIT...

Did you read the spoilers?

Also "place bo fan" Have you read the books?

I loved the Return of the King. It is by far the best out of the three films. I saw it last Friday. It was great!!! I was listening to some of the reviews before I saw the movie and I thought everyone was hyping it way too much. But when I saw it for myself, I was like "wow!" It really is a great movie.

this movie was not great at all...too much hype over an "OK"(just ok) movie...same with the books, too much hype.

Denethor is the kind of guy you love to hate 😄 I was laughing my head off when he

Spoiler:
ran off the cliff while on fire

Lord of the Rings is FAR more than ok (both movie and books). They have all that hype for a reason.

i really don't think so...predictable concept..it's a fantasy story nothing more-it just has a shitload of details added to it...but the concept and ending is just too predictable and boring...reminds me of some disney movie or something

I'm not going to attack your opinion, but just know that most of the world disagrees with you 😛

I agree with Lord soth. The world justdisagrees with you and that "shitload of details" if you haven't realised is so your not asking questions and you know whats happening! 😉

The concept is predictable, that is true, but you have to remember when the story was written, there had been nothing like it, and at the time it was not at all predictable. Plus, even with a fairly predictable premise, it still is a remarkable story, with characters that are developed to a far greater point then another fasionable trilogy of recent memory.

The movie was awesome cool scenes especially the fight scenes and great nature shots. Brilliant, then again I have loved the LOTR since I read the book some 20 years ago. They did a marvelous job on putting the book on the screen, thumbs up for Peter Jackson and his crew

You said it Backfire, when the story was written no one would have suspected it. And even though I knew what was going to happen I was still shaking like mad when Frodo was fighting with gollum because I still had a gut feeling he was going to fall. They did a great job of it.

i loved this movie more than any movie ever (well except the holy grail) but I think the begining with gollem could have been cut out and the extra long ending...they would have been great for the dvd.

My favorite is the whole pippen singing, Denethor eating and Faramir leading the charge scene. I cried my eyes out.

you too? i cried when Denethor said that he didn't think highly of Faramir and how his son was just going to throw his life away. so dramatic when his father was going to burn him alive! that creep! also, the scene where denethor knew that boromir was dead was sad, the flashbacks of pippin's.

billy boyd had a good voice, to be my surprise!

the humour was delightful. esp. when gandalf said: actually, it's better if you don't talk at all. 😆

that scene where pippin took the saruman's sphere thingy was fascinating too.

I just saw LOTR: Return of the king, and whoever said it's rubbish is rubbish!

It lived up to my expectations highly. If you want spoilers then highlight this if not then you better leave before you look without knowing what your doing.

Spoiler:
The ring is not thrown into mount doom, it is carried down by gollum who falls down into the volcano after Frodo betrays the fellowship by the evil of the ring and puts it on his finger.
But Gollum gets it and then him and frodo have a little fight (a tiny fight acctually) and gollum falls in.
Then Sam gets married, Aragorn becomes king and then Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo leave.

💃 😆 😂 💃

It's this EXACTLY what happens?

Good review btw, I love this film!!!!!!!

have you read the books coz not much is missed out from it thanx for your comment aswell. If anyone has any other things they wanna say then just say them.

Very emotional, yeah

true the characters are developed pretty well, and yes ocmpared to the matrix(as i think ur implying by fashionable trilogy) then yes the characters are much much more developed but only because the matrix takes place over the course of 3 days and this story takes place over i dunno how long..months?

and i'm just not a fan of stuff i've seen a billion times over...yes, even if it was one of the first of it's kind

but w/e i liked the trilogy, i just don't think it lives up to the hype and i don't think it's amazingly great(especially the third one)
