If you like long sagas, this is for you! The scenes are graphic. Giant elephants are used in battle. There are huge flying dragons reminiscent of the extinct pterodactyls. There is Shelob, the hideous giant man-eating spider.
Frodo the hobbit has the responsibility of crossing into the Land of Mordor, and dropping the evil ring into the cauldron of Mount Doom. This is the only way to destroy the ring and King Sauron's lingering powers of evil behind it. Frodo is beset by the evil Gollum, who once committed a murder in order to acquire the ring for himself, and is secretly prepared to do the same to the unsuspecting Frodo. At one point, Shelob delivers a paralyzing sting to Frodo, and then wraps him in a cocoon. Frodo's doom seems sure, along with any possibility of destroying the evil ring. What will happen?
Gandalf is a white-haired wise old man. Was Obi-Wan Kenobi of STAR WARS a knockoff of Gandalf? Mordor is close to the German word for murderer. Was this the inspiration for Tolkien?

Follow in "The Lord of the Rings" creator's (J.R.R. Tolkien's) footsteps. Project a malevolent universe. Invent a world and animate it with creatures in conflict. Make the conflict a battle between good and evil, but don't identify clearly the moral value or purpose of either side. In fact, remove morality's essence altogether by eliminating the power of choice for your characters. Emphasize the corruptibility of men. Glamorize the supernatural. Dwell interminably on the preparations for and the wreaking of violence and destruction, on the fragility of hope and happiness. Name the scene of action: Middle-earth. Sound like an environment you'd care to envision? Would you "live" there? If so, fate alone will decide its survival and your own. You can visit this predetermined "paradise" by watching/enduring/suffering Peter Jackson's elaborately filmed adaptation of Tolkien's epic trilogy, which concludes with "The Return of the King."
I hold it is true that what is not worth contemplating in life is not worth contemplating in art. For its dismaying lack of meaningful moral definition, its pervasive pictorial ugliness, the quantity of its scenes of mind-numbing graphic violence, and its minimizing of the value of happiness, "The Lord of the Rings" films--including this one--ought to be shunned and damned.

I think this is the best of the three extended editions. The additional content is amazing and very touching some times. And if you're wondering if it includes spanish subtitles, it's true, and not only the movie, but all the additional content too. A must have for all the real LOTR movies' fans.

This movie was riveting I thought the first 2 were good but this last film of this epic adventure was amazing, peter Jackson has surpassed himself. Frodo's character played by Elijah Wood was phenominal laying bear all the raw emotions of one so young and facing all that life could throw at him with his ever faithful friend Samwise Gamgee by his side to both witness and bear his friends struggle with the Evil hanging both around his neck and infront of him in the shape of the clearly demented Gollum, who was waiting to destroy them all at any given time. The others Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and friends also on there own colision courses with destiny and danger battling the Orcs and Saruman, Aragorn doing inner battle with his undying love for Arwen and what is right for his people and all others depending on the defeat of Sauron. A superb cast all greatly suited to there roles and characters doing much justice to a great film trilogy. A big shame non of them were ever nominated for Oscars although very worthy all of them in my opinion.
