Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The Bottom Line: If you have seen the first two parts, you would not want to miss this one...

Review: Introduction
Close on the heels of the end of the Matrix Trilogy, comes the end of the "Lord of the Rings" saga. Two science fictions/fantasies set in different time frames, having almost a parallel run at the box office is something very rare...

The Bottom Line: A wonderful film about the epic battle of good vs. evil. See the sights of Tolkien on the screen and marvel at the world he has created.

Review: I have to admit, when I first started reading Tolkien, I became immersed in his world. Traveling to Isengard, Rivendell, Helms Deep, Mordor, Gondor, etc. Peter Jackson's vision of these wonderful books did them justice in my opinion, however I do...

The Bottom Line: As Frodo and Sam attempt to destroy the One Ring, humanity battles the forces of evil for control of Middle Earth.

Review: At some point soon, the Oscar voters will vote on the Best Picture of the Year and it will have to decide if "Return of the King" is it. The early buzz, long before "Return of the King" won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, was that despite its...

The Bottom Line: I doubt anyone would buy this if they haven't already seen the first two, but if you have, and you liked them, then BUY IT!

Review: This is it - the final chapter of the Lord of the Rings is now available on dvd. If you haven't seen the first two movies yet, then most of what I'm going to say probably won't make much sense to you, but here's a little background anyway: The One...

The Bottom Line: See it, you already know you are going to. Try not to laugh at the end, some consider it rude.

Review: Is it a good sign when the last half hour of a three-part, 10-plus-hour epic adventure story is spent stifling laughter? I read reviews detailing the fact that the movie had about ten endings, but none mentioned how hilarious each one was going to...

The Bottom Line: Uh... its good. I'm tired.

Review: I've been thinking all day about how to write this review. Initially, I intended to make it into a Tolkien sort of poem, and I even re-read most of Return of the King before seeing the movie so that I could enhance this review. But after being...

The Bottom Line: It's not quite up to the books standard, but could never have achieved that. Jackson has now completed his trilogy and I cannot imagine the films being done better.

Review: I was first introduced to the world of Tolkien 2 years ago to the day, strange as it seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in a theatre enjoying the first Lord Of The Rings film, The Fellowship Of The Ring, yet it was also on that day that I...

The Bottom Line: If you only see one movie this Christmas, see this one. If you see five, see it five times.

Review: While waiting anxiously for this movie to be released, seemingly five years after The Two Towers (extended edition) hit the shelves on DVD, I spent great amounts of time finding any trailers and reviews to tease my imagination with. During that time...

The Bottom Line: This is, without a doubt, the best movie ever made. Be prepared to never be completely satisfied by another movie again.

Review: I don't even know where to begin. I really, really want to give this movie three stars, or two, maybe, because it has pretty much just ruined Christmas for me, but I can't. That would be blasphemy.

Let me begin by emphasizing that I was...
