DISK IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.
Directed by Peter Jackson - Starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen
New Line Home Video - Rated PG13 - 200 min - Fantasy Adventure - Region: 1 (USA & territories, Canada)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King brings Peter Jackson's
mammoth adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic to a close in suitably
epic fashion. Instead of starting just where the previous film left off,
however, it goes far back in time to the moment the tormented creature
Gollum first came to possess the One Ring. In this flashback, actor
Andy Serkis (who voiced Gollum and performed his movements onset prior
to the final CGI effects) finally gets to appear onscreen, portraying
Gollum's former self, Sméagol. This disturbing scene serves as a potent
reminder that the Ring seeks to corrupt even the well-intentioned Frodo
(Elijah Wood), who is
increasingly struggling with the dark power of the Ring himself. Thus,
the film returns to the present, following Frodo, Sam (Sean Astin),
and Gollum as they journey ever closer to the foreboding land of
Mordor. They pass by the terrifying dark city of Minas Morgul, watching
as the dreadful army of the Witch King sets out for the human
strongholds in Gondor, and move on to the rocky stairs to Cirith Ungol,
where an even darker enemy lies in wait. Meanwhile, the rest of the
Fellowship reunites in Rohan, having defeated the wizard Saruman on two
different fronts, at Helm's Deep and Isengard. They are not together
for long, though, since the hobbit Pippin (Billy Boyd) gets into
trouble, making it necessary for him and Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to
hastily depart for Minas Tirith, capital of Gondor. Once there, they
find the steward of Gondor, Denethor (John Noble), in an unstable
mental state and the city preparing for battle against the amassing
forces of Sauron. Denethor unwisely sends his only remaining son,
Faramir (David Wenham), back into bloody battle to prove himself. He
returns nearly dead, sending Denethor over the edge of sanity.In
another realm, elf Arwen (Liv Tyler) begins her journey to immortal
life in the Grey Havens, on her way to leave Middle-earth -- and
Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) -- forever, but has a vision that causes her
to once again reconsider her decision. Back in Rohan, the men are
preparing to ride to Gondor's aide. Éowyn (Miranda Otto) desperately
wants to join the men in battle, but her uncle, King Théoden (Bernard
Hill), orders her to stay and defend Rohan if necessary. The hobbit
Merry (Dominic Monaghan) also desires to ride with the men, but is
denied due to his small size and inexperience. Aragorn is met there by
the elf Elrond (Hugo Weaving), who brings him the re-forged Sword that
was Broken (in the ancient battle with Sauron) and urges him to take a
different route to Gondor. Heeding Elrond's advice, Aragorn, along with
elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), takes a
cavernous path through the mountains, where they meet ghoulish ghosts
who betrayed Aragorn's ancestors and are doomed to eternal unrest
unless they fulfill their broken oaths by aiding him. All but Frodo,
Sam, and Gollum will meet on the massive battlefield of the Pelennor
before the gates of Minas Tirith. The former three instead engage in a
battle of wills between each other and the One Ring as they head toward
the fires of Mount Doom to destroy it. Released in December 2003, The
Return of the King topped even its massively successful trilogy
predecessors at the box office, and went on to garner a whopping 11
Academy Awards, including Best Picture -- winning in all the categories
in which it was nominated and tying the record of total awards won
with Ben-Hur and Titanic.Manufacturer: New Line Cinema
