NEWSWEEK
The final chapter of the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy doesn't disappoint.
It's the jewel in the crown. A triumph of epic storytelling.
The final installment runs well over three hours, but Jackson's
modulations of tone, space, scale and intensity are so expertly
gauged you never feel pummeled or bored. Just gripped from start to finish.

TIME
The second half of the film elevates all the story elements to
Beethovenian crescendo. Here is an epic with literature's depth and opera's
splendor and one that could be achieved only in movies. What could be more terrific?

This: in some theaters, the Ring trilogy will be shown back to back to back.
What a 9-hr. 17-min. trip three huge installments, one supreme enthrallment. Ecstasy
trumps exhaustion in the reliving of a great human quest, a cinematic triumph.

DAILY VARIETY
A "King" that earns its crown, 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.
So Jackson has done it. After seven years of work, the young New Zealander has
pulled off one of the most ambitious and phenomenally successful dream projects
of all time, a complete visual rendering of a 1,000-page literary classic beloved by
countless readers internationally, a set of films that satisfies the Tolkien purists
and, when all is said and done, will generate well upwards of $3 billion in all markets.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"The Return of the King" is the longest and most complicated of the three "Rings"
films and probably fated to be the biggest moneymaker. Sure to be an Oscar
contender in many categories and a breathtaking argument for director
Peter Jackson winning every award there is to give, "King" has none of the
usual deficiencies that frequently scuttle third films.

WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
The good news is that this film, the third instalment in the trilogy, is staggeringly
impressive. It does everything bigger, and most things better, than the first two movies.
It's worth seeing even if you hate fantasy-fiction, even if you got stuck on page five of
The Hobbit, even if you thought Bilbo was an endangered chocolate marsupial.

NEW ZEALAND HERALD
We come to it at last, the great film of our time. The film which makes the heart leap,
the tears flow, the adrenaline race like never before. Much of the film is beyond exhilarating
and certainly the best of the three, effectively elevating the series into the greatest trilogy in cinema history.

STUFF
To quote Gandalf, after The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers the board
is set and the pieces in motion. In just over three hours New Zealand director
Peter Jackson ties up the loose ends of J R R Tolkien's fantasy classic in a sweeping,
epic movie. It is now possible to view the three films as one movie, and the three
combined are a spectacular triumph. The devotion of cast and crew to Tolkien's work
shines through, and through their dedication movie history has been made.

DAVID POLAND
There's no real point in going into details here. See the movie. Have the
experience. Let me know when you're done.
