Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English THE RETURN OF THE KING, the third and final film in Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, finds Middle-earth on the cusp of great change. Weary hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) venture further into the dark realm of Mordor, guided by the increasingly desperate Gollum (Andy Serkis), the two-faced former owner of the Ring that Frodo must destroy in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) contend with the deranged ruler Denethor (John Noble) at the once-mighty city of Minas Tirith, as Merry (Dominic Monaghan) joins Éowyn (Miranda Otto) and the Riders of Rohan to hold back the forces of Sauron. Amidst the chaos, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must rise to his destiny, aided by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) in assembling allies for a massive battle that will decide the fate of Middle-earth.
With RETURN, Jackson brings J.R.R. Tolkien's world-renowned tale to a stunning conclusion. As with THE TWO TOWERS, the director deftly weaves various storylines together in one remarkable scene after another. Spectacular visuals complement Jackson's sharp focus on the characters and their emotional battles. While the special effects help to create huge battles and frightening creatures on a previously unseen scale, they never outshine the excellent ensemble of actors who bring the heart of the story home. A truly astounding work of filmmaking, THE RETURN OF THE KING skillfully concludes one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history. Theatrical Release: December 17, 2003 Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Reviews: "...Peter Jackson has created the mack daddy of all movie fantasies, and RETURN OF THE KING brings the film version of Tolkien's trilogy to a combustibly exciting close..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...The conclusion of Peter Jackson's masterwork is passionate and literate, detailed and expansive..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "[K]ING is a meticulous and prodigious vision made by a director who was not hamstrung by heavy use of computer special-effects imagery."
-- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times "As a model for how to bring substance, authenticity and insight to the biggest of adventure yarns, this trilogy will not soon, if ever, find its equal."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "[T]he third film propels the work into the stratosphere of classic movies. Key characters are enhanced, new civilizations visited and battles fought more intensely, even as feelings and motivations are plumbed more deeply and movingly."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "RETURN OF THE KING dispatches its characters to their destinies with a grand and eloquent confidence. This is the best of the three..."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King | List Price | $14.96 (You save $6.01) | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Orig Year | 2003 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  1233  | | CD Universe Part number | 6712383 | | Catalog number | 6930 | | Discs | 2 | | Release Date | May 25, 2004 | | Rating | PG-13 (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | intense epic battle sequences and frightening images | | Also Known As | Return of the King | | Running Time | 201 Minutes | | Additional Info | Full Screen | | Movie Details | Color; Full Screen; Full-Screen; 2-Disc Set |
Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Video Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Movie Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A must for all lovers of Tolkien's works
A well rendered screen version of the last of the trilogy. Recommended for lovers of Tolkien and other fantasy literature. I consider, as others do, J.R.R. Tolkien as the penultimate fantasy writer who didn't have to resort to sex or vulgarity to make his stories come alive.

With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's ...

Picking up where the first film left off, Peter Jackson's THE TWO TOWERS throws the remaining members of the Fellowship into the scattered chaos of Middle-earth, now fully under siege by the forces of Sauron. While Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to the dreaded Mordor, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are held captive by orcs, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) search for their abducted companions. Soon Frodo and Sam are joined by the sulking and duplicitous Gollum (portrayed by the voice and motion-captured acting of Andy Serkis), who becomes their guide through the barren lands leading to Mount Doom. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin encounter the looming Treebeard (voiced by Rhys-Davies) and Aragorn, Legolas, and ...

Turning up the style and energy levels that he kept under a threshold with 1997's JACKIE BROWN, Tarantino's obvious glee and reverence for the underground kung fu action pictures of the '70s, and Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, makes for a stunning visual spectacle. Employing split screens, slow-motion, an anime sequence, and his trademark ultra-hip musical selections, Tarantino's film dares viewers to be unimpressed.
