About this movie

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.

A fantastic conclusion to an excellent trilogy! Not 100% accurate to the books, but one hellava ride. Ending is a tad drawn out. The extended edition adds almost 45 minutes of footage back in from the theatrical version. And you can't tell the original scenes from the new ones. They did an exceptional job seamlessly adding in the new footage. I can't recommend this series enough. Peter Jackson did to fantasy what George Lucas did to sci-fi.

Others have reviewed the film amazingly. But why is it that in 2016 we can't get an HD version of a film over a decade old when the two preceding films are available in HD? Bad form, Google Play Store.
