About this movie

"One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, 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 only 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.

Film Review: I am going to be honest - this is my favourite film of all time. I love everything - the music is epic and iconic, the characthers are rootable, and in some cases (Gollum espically) emotinally complex, the action and CGI still hold up excellently, it's truly speactacular. There's also many amazing scenes - the spider pit, the battle at Minas Tirth, the lighting of the beacons, Aragorn becoming king, the fight at Mount Doom - don't let the runtime bother you, it's simply perfection.

Love this film but so many scenes were cut out if it, I am very disappointed, I won't be watching again, & I will be informing you google about this scam! I expected the full edition not one from years ago!

This is my favourite of the trilogy but i do wish the end showed the fight the hobbits faced back in the shire with sharkey and snake tongue .....still a great film
