The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Perhaps the greatest fantasy film
achievement of all time comes to a
conclusion with this astonishing final
chapter to the Lord of the Rings
trilogy. Frodo completes his perilous
journey to Mount Doom, and we the
audience just stare in amazement at what
has been put on screen. In many ways,
the first two films were just warm-ups
for what King has in store, a
tremendous piece of work on so many
levels. As for acting triumphs, everyone is
excellent, and it would be wrong to ignore
the work of Sean Astin as Samwise, who
will tear your heart out in the film’s final
moments. This contains some of the
greatest action set pieces and visual
wonders ever put up on the big screen.
