Return of the King is exactly what it should be. A fantastic and imaginative epic adventure film with mind-blowing action/battle scenes, suspense, drama, and special effects. If any movie is worth your money ($11.50 now in LA) it is this one. It is proof that Peter Jackson was the only person who could pull this off. I am not really a LOTR fan per se, but enjoyed the films for what they are. The third installment is the best and should be seen in a big loud theater to get the most enjoyment. I must say that the ending is even longer than I expected despite the fact I was warned ahead of time! It is really extraordinarily long. Pee before you enter the theater!!!
