The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
As armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall
One of my all time favorites.
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Lord of the Rings is one of them trilogies that are so good its very unlikely anything this good will occur again. The Return of the King ends the trilogy on a high featuring big battle sequences that mostly still hold up to this day. Epic speaches, and the most satisfying climax in movie history. Worth watching the Extended Edition as its the best Extended edition of the trilogy for what it adds back into the movie. 10/10 I think this will be my favourite movie of all time for many years to come.
First of all: I liked this movie, and i could watch it an awful lot of times. But that is mostly due to the great special effects .
I don't usually watch things like this, but I must say I wasn't expecting something this good.
So if you're a fan of the books, you might have a tendency to overanalyze what to the casual viewers is a nice farewell to the magestic world of Tolkien. Wraps it all up nicely for those who fell in love with these characters.
