The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ***

Cast: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Miranda Otto, Bernard Hill, Andy Serkis, John Noble, Liv Tyler
Director: Peter Jackson

The trilogy based on the classic novels by J. R. R. Tolkien finally comes to an end as the forces of good and evil have the mother of all battles at the city of Minas Tirith. Bigger than than even the battle of Helm's Deep from LOTR 2, this is an impressive sight to behold. And while this battle rages on, Frodo and Sam, accompanied by Gollum approach Mordor and Mount Doom, determined to destroy the One Ring once and for all. ROTK is a well made and entertaining film, that is on par with the first to films. And while I do not consider these films the best ever made (like some people), it is well worth seeing. Now we just have to sit back and hope that Peter Jackson is able to get the rights to The Hobbit so that he can complete the whole story.
