Editorial Review:

Description:
How do ordinary people find the strength within themselves to change the course of the future? What inspires a reluctant hero to become a courageous leader? Profound questions like these are the basis of The Return of the King. History has known many great leaders, and now, National Geographic delves beyond the film to provide a historical context for Aragorn's struggles. Through exclusive film footage and powerful interviews, surprising connections come to life between our world and The Lord of the Rings, helping us to better understand both.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Same as extra of theatrical edition DVD
This is on the second disc of the theatrical edition of Return of the King.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not bad at all
I gave this DVD 5 stars. Why? On the Australian (Region 4) version of the ROTK DVD (The "Theatrical" version), it comes as a free bonus product on the 2nd (and bonus DVD). So, on my copy it cost me nothing! You can't complain when this DVD won't cost you a cent. At no cost at all, you can forgive the flaws and just enjoy it for what it is. It is actually a resonable view on its own when you pay nothing to watch it!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Based on Jackson not Tolkien!
Let me start by saying that I loved the movies. But this commentary uses supposed Tolkien experts that have never read the books! In the movie Aragorn is a reluctant hero. In the actual novel Aragorn has been preparing his entire life to claim, not reclaim, the throne of Gondor. That is a huge discrepancy between the movies and the novel. I am surprised that the "experts" did not notice.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - National Geographic slipped on this one
Where the original National Geographic Beyond the Movie - The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring was quite decent, providing an analogy of the creation of Middle Earth, and what personal events Tolkien probably inserted into his masterpiece, this one is the complete opposite.

While the concept basically is the same (interviews with the cast, experts, etc), the underlying theme is extremely poor. Basically the makers of this documentary start comparing characters in Lord of ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible Gradeschool Essay
"How LOTR is like real life". Each segment attempts to explain why some historical figure is like a character in the movie, or vise versa. Terrible, bad - a middle school student could write a better script than this crap. Not even worth a rental.
