Leah 🥀Dec 26, 2019The moment where Frodo is hanging off of a cliff holding on with one hand and looks up at Sam and Sam reaches out for him to take his hand and Frodo doesn’t want to at first but Sam urges him to so he tries but he can’t get a grip because of how bloodied his hands are so he…

imagine 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.

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
10.0 - 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++

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.
The 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.

Okay 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.

There is no film in motion picture history that has ever earned more Academy Awards than this one, and only two (Avatar and Ben-Hur) have equaled it. The capstone of a magnum opus was groundbreaking and holds up very well. I only wish it was the Extended Edition!
SLShawn LapetinoThe movie was fantastic... the 38 minutes of Atom Tickets commercials we had to sit through (including sitting through several twice) was NOT good.
JLJo LaMoreThe majority of new material I saw mostly involved Aowen and Faramir. Meh. Perhaps the extras I didn't recognize, propelled the story, but the "romance" aspect didn't do much for me.
