Film Description: 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.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

That's Right I Will Return. XD

[DrsJacksonn]

Hilarious how the eye is like 'Huh? What? What's happening? Why am I falling? What the fuck is happening? A'ight fuck you guys, I'm taking you with me! *explodes*'

[iamSnip3rOne]

I thought it was a brilliant conclusion to the HP series, but not everyone can be pleased :P I thought it built up beautifully to the end and the final battle was different, but it was a good different.

But yeah this scene with Sauron dying is just insane and so iconic. Sad that it isnt as reognizable as it ought to be.

[Macek Kramar]

yeah, but I dont think Potters finale was nearly as strong as this.. The first half of the movie was just briliant, but then it got a little boring and pushy, still it was great, but man, Im nearly at tears wherever I see this scene.. just aweosme ;)

[iamSnip3rOne]

Well, that is a bit of a toss up, really. There are a lot of extremely important and powerful moments/scenes in film history. More recently, this entire historic trilogy and the death of Voldemort in Harry Potter (because of how iconic HP is in the first place.). But i do agree..this is an extremely powerful and pivotal moment in fantasy filmmaking, and perhaps all time.

[gringolazlo]

You missed the best bit the moment the ring melts

[RyanStears]

Man tears

[Macek Kramar]

I can safely say that this was most powerfull moment in history of cinematography ever created

[AkshUndestroyed]

With all that he has done and will do, I guess he'll figure out a way to do that.

After all, if he can restore his own power and re-enter Arda at the End, then I suppose that restoring a Maiar's power won't be that hard for him.

[sergeantassassin2]

Then that means that Morgoth will have to somehow figure out a way to restore Sauron's lost power.

[AkshUndestroyed]

However Tolkien himself said that Sauron will fight on Morgoth's side in the final battle, the Dagor Dagorath. In an earlier version of The Silmarillion it was said that Sauron will come back at the end to fight as a lieutenant of Morgoth.

[AkshUndestroyed]

Nope! Sauron is an Ainur, he was created as an immortal spirit before the creation of the world. If the Ring is separated from him, he'll just lose part of his power. If the Ring is destroyed, all his power will be destroyed and he will become a powerless spirit.

In the book it says that after the Ring was destroyed he became a spirit of malice who will never rise again as a dark lord.

At the end of the world when Morgoth comes back Sauron will fight on Morgoth's side.
