4/4Ultimately this journey has been about the endgame, and now that we're here, we get a shattering sense of all that is at stake.
5/5The third part of Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy delivers everything we have been led to expect: stunning battle sequences, glorious scenery, jaw-dropping special effects and wonderful performances.
3/5A very fine achievement, moving, involving and, to many people, even inspiring.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
4/4Both profoundly moving and deeply satisfying.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Like all the other installments in the saga, The Return of the King is part of a good movie, but only mediocre on its own, full of awkward pauses and redundancies.
4/4Even if The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers had not preceded it, Return of the King would rank among the greatest achievements of cinema.
A profound testament to the extraordinary power of moving images and sound.
4/4Will undoubtedly last through the decades as one of the most ambitious and mind-blowingly successful celluloid projects ever undertaken.

A+Every inch the finale this saga deserves, cementing its place as one of the seminal cinematic achievements of our time.
96/100Peter Jackson and his team pull through once again and turn in the best film in a terrific trilogy.
Amazing, stupendous, jawdropping and overwhelming.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
5/5So impeccably and artfully done that we can hardly breathe, immobilised by emotion, suspense, the sheer spectacle, the intimate drama.
B+The director and screenwriter brings unity to a somewhat unwieldy story and handles the spectacle scenes with flourish and coherence.
ROTK would never be classified as a horror film, but it certainly is a deep-dark fantasy, and it's more scary and edge-of-the-seat than any horror movie I have seen all year.
4/4An absolutely absorbing finale which establishes the trilogy as perhaps the best mythic fable ever brought to the big screen.
4/4Every bit as extraordinary as the series' first two installments.
A+This film is everything a fan could want and possibly more. For three-plus hours, it entertains, enthralls and awes.
5/5The Return of the King is one of the finest things I've ever seen. And that includes stuff like sunrises and babies and the original, unaltered Star Wars.

Average Rating: 0/10
5/5Majestic, moving and immense, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King is about as awesome as cinema gets.
5/5The resounding climax to a landmark in cinema history.
5/5You could open an entire can of hyperbole over this film, and still run short of adjectives to praise its majesty.
4/5No flabber has been left ungasted by Mr Jackson's mighty battle sequences, nor no gob unsmacked.
Some story strands are crudely abbreviated; others fail to develop elements that were already well-established.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
5/5As a model for how to bring substance, authenticity and insight to the biggest of adventure yarns, this trilogy will not soon, if ever, find its equal.
5/5King is the product of impressive craft and energy.
Peter Jackson's final installment in his monumental The Lord of the Rings represents that filmmaking rarity -- a third part of a trilogy that is decisively the best of the lot.
A masterfully entertaining final installment.
