“Obviously, Iu0026#39;m aware of the fact that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is actually one giant movie, but since it was released in parts, thatu0026#39;s how Iu0026#39;m judging them. The Return Of The King is the final chapter, and since it is the climax and resolution of the epic journey, it has a little more intensity and urgency than the previous installments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt this point everyone has come to know and love all of the characters, and the stakes have become tremendously high. Kingdoms are at their knees, and the only two characters who can save the day are getting weaker and weaker. The tension was very high in this episode and I can honestly say that out of all 3 this was the only one that had me on the edge of my seat. There were many memorable scenes (one of my favourites including the part with the giant spider)that made this the classic that it is sure to stay for decades to come.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the longest of the series, mostly because of the ending that seems to last a while. This was a good ending, and I can see why Frodo did what he did. He, and us the audience, have gone through an incredible ordeal and I think we needed that 20 minute linger. When the battle is over, and the celebrations have ended, there is a sad emptiness felt. The films spanned over 3 years, there have been the extended cuts of course, but after that, itu0026#39;s all over. Peter Jackson gave us an ending that was both appropriate and admirable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThese were some amazing movies and this one in particular is the best, in my opinion. As whole, the Lord Of The Rings is a phenomenon. An absolute phenomenon. Much more than just movies. They have a universal appeal and have touched the hearts and imaginations of millions. Iu0026#39;m one of them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSorry if Iu0026#39;m being all fanboyish and kissing this movieu0026#39;s ass, but I really admire it. It may not be among my personal favourites but generally this seems to be the movie event of the century. There will never be another Lord of the Rings film, and thatu0026#39;s a bit depressing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating: 10/10”
