From Amazon.com

With The Return of the King, the greatest fantasy epic in film history draws to a grand and glorious conclusion. Director Peter Jackson's awe-inspiring adaptation of the Tolkien classic The Lord of the Rings could never fully satisfy those who remain exclusively loyal to Tolkien's expansive literature, but as a showcase for physical and technical craftsmanship it is unsurpassed in pure scale and ambition, setting milestone after cinematic milestone as the brave yet charmingly innocent Hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood) continues his mission to Mordor, where he is destined to destroy the soul-corrupting One Ring of Power in the molten lava of Mount Doom. While the heir to the kingdom of Men, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), endures the massive battle at Minas Tirith with the allegiance of the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Frodo and stalwart companion Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) must survive the schizoid deceptions of Gollum, who remains utterly convincing as a hybrid of performance (by Andy Serkis) and subtly nuanced computer animation.

Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have much ground to cover; that they do so with intense pacing and epic sweep is impressive enough, but by investing greater depth and consequence in the actions of fellow Hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), they ensure that The Return of the King maintains the trilogy's emphasis on intimate fellowship. While several major characters appear only briefly, and one (Christopher Lee's evil wizard, Saruman) was relegated entirely to the extended-version DVD, Jackson is to be commended for his editorial acumen; like Legolas the archer, his aim as a filmmaker is consistently true, and he remains faithful to Tolkien's overall vision. If Return suffers from too many endings, as some critic suggested, it's only because the epic's conclusion is so loyally inclusive of the actors--most notably Astin--who gave it such strength to begin with. By ending the LOTR trilogy with noble integrity and faith in the power of imaginative storytelling, The Return of the King, like its predecessors, will stand as an adventure for the ages. --Jeff Shannon

Point final grandiose apporté à la trilogie du Seigneur des anneaux, débutée en 2000 par Peter Jackson, Le Retour du roi fait également partie des films les plus récompensés dans l’histoire des oscars. En effet, à l’instar de Ben Hur et de Titanic, cette œuvre épique a récolté 11 statuettes en 2004.

Les armées de Sauron assiègent Minas Tirith, capitale de Gondor. Aragorn trouvera-t-il le courage d’accomplir son destin en devenant roi de la cité et en menant les Hommes à la bataille, ralliés par les guerriers de Rohan, leur chef Théoden, et par Gandalf ? Bien que peu nombreuses, toutes les forces disponibles seront utilisées pour faire diversion et laisser Frodon accomplir l’ultime mission. Mais le valeureux Hobbit, accompagné par Sam et Gollum, saura-t-il trouver assez de force en lui pour détruire l’anneau maléfique ?

Malgré l’étirement quelque peu fastidieux du dénouement, force est de reconnaître que Peter Jackson exerce à son mieux, dans Le Retour du roi, ses qualités de cinéaste et de conteur. Mise en scène époustouflante, moments d’intensité frappants et scènes d’émotion poignantes, le film retransmet parfaitement toute l’ampleur du souffle de l’œuvre de J.R.R. Tolkien. Présenté sur un double DVD agrémenté de trois documentaires et de 6 featurettes expliquant bien les secrets de la réalisation et de la production, Le Retour du roi nous fait, en réalité, regretter que l’aventure soit déjà finie. – Helen Faradji

5.0étoiles sur 5 OK, I know, my name's "Frodo" ...., Juil 24 2007
Par frodo (Kingston, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Widescreen) (2 Discs) (DVD)
I realize my handle shows my extreme affection for LOTR! but I just had to respond to "A Terrible Letdown" below.

First of all, it might help to spell the characters' names correctly before you start criticizing. It's Eowyn, not Eyowyn, and Theoden, not Theodin. Second of all, Theoden says to Eowyn "You already did," not "You already have." If you cannot even get a three-word sentence and the spellings of key characters' names correct, why should we believe the rest of your critique? I suggest you read the book and understand the material better.

I believe Arwen's statement to Elrond "there is no ship that can bear me hence" is a METAPHORICAL comment: ie. the point is "It is too late for me now, father; my heart is with Aragorn and will never leave him. I can never go to the far land now, now that I know I would have a son with him etc. etc." I don't think she literally meant "The last ship is gone" and then later there's another ship so d-uh, what a howler. Metaphors occur when people say things that have a figurative meaning. Literature and films use metaphors all the time.

Interestingly, in the book, Arwen tells Frodo (after her marriage to Aragorn) that she has chosen mortality with Aragorn over immortal life. (Her ancestor, Luthien, had made a similar choice.) She tells Frodo that if he wants to later on (if his pain is too great), he can take her place on the ship leaving for the far shore. Then she gives him a gem which he keeps with him until he does take that last journey. This exchange with Arwen does not occur in the movie but it is certainly a beautiful and touching part of the novel.

This film is a piece of art, not a documentary. To hold it to ridiculous rules of verisimilitude and factuality (especially while totally screwing up the details yourself) is just crazy talk.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The adrenaline-rushing conclusion of the Epic, Janv. 1 2010
Par Frances L. Arsenault "lover of literature" (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2pc) (VHS Tape)
Tolkien 's works had been put into TV with animation by Rankin/Bass (1977 and 1979). In 1978, Ralph Bakshi had animated the first two books of the famous trilogy to the silver screen. And now, with today's technology,an all-star cast, and a fabulous music score, New Line Cinema has brought the the trilogy to a new level in a live-action spectacle; and one of the best film series of the 21th century. Each scene has heart,a bit of humour,heart-thumpin' action, and excellent effects. And I should like to tell you, that Rings is what got me to love four of the film's stars - Elijah Wood,Orlando Bloom,Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler.

In this adrenaline-rushing conclusion of our adventure, The War of The Ring has began, and Frodo & Sam (who are led by Gollum) continue their dangerous quest to destroy The One Ring. But they are unaware of the trap that set for them by Gollum. Meanwhile, Aragorn,Legolas,Gimli, and Gandalf are united with Merry & Pippin at the now destoryed Isengard, thanks to them,Treebeard and the other Ents; now they celebrated their victory. But Aragorn was worried of Frodo. And in the dead of the night,Pippin snuck out of bed to take a peek at Saruman's palantir, that was found and confiscated. But something happened, the palantir showed him The Eye of Sauron, and that he is planning to attack Minas Tirith; So Gandalf took Pippin, and rode to Minas Tirith. Meanwhile, on the road to the ships that will take elves away from Middle Earth, Arwen was thinking over her choice of path. Until has a vision of her son that convince her to go home; she did, and so she rode home and plead her father to reforge the ancient blade of Narsil, and give it to her beloved Aragorn, so he can become the king he was born to be.

So overall ALL three films are excellent - 1 to 3. And you know, I do feel sorry for Faramir being an unappreciated son, I mean it was his big brother Boromir who was their dad's favorite. I love the developing friendship between Merry & Eowyn. And I love the end-title song performed by Annie Lennox.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The king returns, Aoû 29 2007
Par E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Gandalf said it best: "I will not say: do not weep. For not all tears are an evil."

And it's of tempting to weep as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy draws to a close, with the "Return of the King." Peter Jackson's brilliant adaptation ends the classic fantasy epic with a bang... but then quiets down to let us bid farewell to these lovable characters. Astounding direction, action, and a little pang when it's all over.

Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) are still following the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis) on the path to Mordor, with the increasingly strained Frodo unaware that Gollum is sowing suspicion between the two best friends. By the time he realizes his mistake, he's been dragged into the lair of Shelob, a monstrous spider, and then abducted by orcs who want the Ring he carries. Determined to find his friend, Sam heads into an orc citadel on his own.

Meanwhile, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) takes Pippin (Billy Boyd) with him to Minas Tirith, after the hobbit has a close encounter with Sauron through a palantir. \Not only is the city under siege, but the Steward Denethor is slowly going insane, even sending his one remaining son, Faramir (David Wenham), on a suicide mission to reclaim a dead city. With Minas Tirith crumbling, Aragorn's (Viggo Mortensen) only hope may to be summon an army of the dead, who will only obey the King of Gondor. But even the dead won't help him if Frodo doesn't destroy the Ring -- and its power over him is growing.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is one of those once-in-a-lifetime movie experiences. There has never been anything quite like it in movie history, and there probably never will be again. It seems somehow fitting that the book that every other fantasy has to measure up to, has now become a sweeping cinematic triumph that actually stays halfway loyal to the books. Good things come to fans who wait, I guess.

And in this movie, Peter Jackson really outdoes himself. You know those battle scenes in "Two Towers" and "Fellowship of the Ring," with the swooping camera and thousands of orcs, clashing with men on a gloomy battlefield? In "Return of the King," Jackson surpasses that. There's everything from volcanic eruptions to an invasion of howling ghosts to the attack of the oliphaunts (like elephants, only bigger). Each action scene is a shattering ride, and there's no guarantee that all the beloved characters will make it out alive. Some of them don't.

But if Jackson manages the epic battles well, he does an even better job with the gentler, quieter moments. The action slows down, and the characters take a moment to support and comfort each other, such as Gandalf comforting the frightened Pippin with a description of the afterlife. Jackson and his fellow screenwriters Fran Walsh and Phillippa Boyens throw themselves into the semi-formal language of Tolkien's world, resculpting Tolkien's words into rich movie dialogue.

Elijah Wood gives an unparalleled performance as Frodo Baggins -- it's hard to imagine any young actor in recent memory who has given a performance this wrenching. Frodo's deterioration is horrifying to watch, and the climactic scene at Mount Doom displays just what the Ring can do to even the pure-hearted hobbit. Sean Astin follows up with his powerful performance as Sam, who is increasingly the "strong" hobbit, demonstrated in a tearjerking scene as they scale Mount Doom.

But all the supporting cast also give powerful performances -- Boyd and Dominic Monaghan put their characters through some intense growing pains, and the "I'm going to take care of you" scene is enough to bring tears to your eyes. Mortensen and McKellen are astounding as the kingly outcast and the kick-butt wizard, while Miranda Otto, David Wenham and Bernard Hill are brilliant on the sidelines.

Perhaps the most striking thing about "Return of the King" is the final fourth of the film. While the "multiple endings" may annoy some viewers, it seems somehow right to gently let go of these characters rather than have a sudden, splashy finale. And whether they have a happy or sad ending, Jackson never lets us forget that they all made sacrifices to battle Sauron.

"Return of the King" brings the epic "Lord of the Rings" trilogy to a close, and cements Jackson's reputation as a master filmmaker. With the outstanding cast, beautiful scripting and amazing direction, this is the best of the "Lord" films -- and that's saying something.
