I took my son and a friend of his to see Return of the King tonight.
I remember reading Tolkien’s trilogy when I was 12 and even back then I though it would make a great flick.
To sum it all up:
If you liked the Fellowship and you really liked the Two Towers you will love The Return Of The King.
It was phenomenal. The battle for Minas Tirith was mind-boggling. A perfect marriage between special effects and acting. well worth the $$$
If I had to say something bad about it. It was about 20 minutes too long.
