Synopsis
In celebration of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’s 25th Anniversary, extended editions of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings Trilogy return to theatres this January. In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world—and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome—one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power. This special one-night-only event will feature the remastered extended edition.

LucyDec 22, 2021imagine a nimble-footed platinum blonde elf with fishtail braids pops up and shoots you in the chest and the last thing you hear before you die is him whispering the number you are on his kill count so he can compare kills with his dwarf boyfriend at the end of the battle.

- Jared Cloud lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
One of the greatest films of all time. This is the masterful culmination of an absolutely perfect trilogy. There’s a reason why this film won 11 Oscars. It’s more than just a movie. It’s an unforgettable emotional experience. There’s nothing more I can say that hasn’t been said
Clay Werner lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King10.0 - 2nd perfect score out of this nearly perfect trilogy. Everything done right over the last 2 films is done again. Every acting performance is flawless. Score, sound, makeup, sets, costumes, writing, battle choreo - all perfect. Best adaptations ever. Best trilogy ever. A++
Kareem lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingI can't feel anything down below man 😭. I guess Elijah did wear a wig after all. All of that for the prrreciouss🧌.
- Lam Lam Crampton lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Fantastic conclusion to a great trilogy, high stakes, great action, and I really love Sam’s character, maybe even more than Frodo. The Aragon, Legolas and Gimli trio are so badass as well. This trilogy was a lot of fun, so ahead of it’s time and I’m sad to see it end.
Sabrina Bondi lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingThe Return Of The King ultimately proves up to the series' increasingly difficult task: making movies that echo legends, making legends that reflect life, and reconciling it all with the fact that both legends and lives all eventually meet their ends.
ColeM lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingMy favorite movie of all time, with the greatest story and soundtrack ever.
- TattooFaceMike dislikedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
All of these are not good.
Mikey lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingOkay fine. FINE! LOTR is the greatest movie trilogy of all time. Return of the king wraps it up to perfection. Samwise Gamgee is the epitome of honor and deserves free drinks every time he enters a bar. This is CINEMA and I’m embarrassed to have waited this long to experience it.
Jackson lovedThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingGreatest Trilogy of all time. The peak of cinema, everything before lead up to it, and everything since has been a decline. Worth your time to watch all (extended editions) back to back to back. 100/10

The conclusion of Peter Jackson's masterwork is passionate and literate, detailed and expansive, and it's conceived with a risk-taking flair for old-fashioned movie magic at its most precious.

The second installment was better than the first, and this one is best of all. It has spectacular action scenes and imaginary creatures, and it’s by far the most moving chapter. The performances have deepened.
