Product Description

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (DVD) (WS)

"One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

The greatest stories never end.

Assuming you watch the first two-thirds of this story, which is sometimes mistaken for a trilogy, you will notice that it has been divided a little differently for this presentation. We find that Shelob (whom you will be introduced to) has moved to this second part of the story, as Peter Jackson's adaptation of the works of J.R.R. is presented better here. Also, Sam does not get the opportunity to try out his ring skills. Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Oops, Minas Tirith prepares for a major battle. Aragorn sees dead people. We see a flaming Denethor (John N-o-b-l-e). If they survive the battle, then they must prepare to confront Sauron of Mordor to distract him from his real threat (Frodo). After the absence of the scouring of the Shire, we still get the feeling, if not an added extra, as the four Hobbits have been placed and are seeing sights that are unfathomable to the other residents of the Shire, look knowingly at each other. Comments on the four-hour and ten-minute version suggest that there is quite a bit more footage that is not seen here and may never be. This includes information on many of the characters after the final confrontation. Do not miss all the great songs, which give another dimension to this great presentation. So, prepare to enter the Crack of Doom.
