The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Official Trailer [2003]

The War of the Ring reaches its climax as the dark lord Sauron sets his sights on Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor. The members of the fellowship in Rohan are warned of the impending attack when Pippin cannot resist looking into Saruman's palantir and is briefly contacted by the dark lord. King Theoden is too proud to send his men to help without being asked, so Gandalf and Pippin ride to Minas Tirith to see that this request is sent. They meet opposition there from Denethor, steward of the city and father of Faramir and the late Boromir. Denethor's family has acted as temporary guardians of Gondor for centuries until a member of the true line of kings returns. This member is none other than Aragorn, who must overcome his own self-doubt before he can take on the role he was destined to fulfill. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam continue to carry the One Ring towards Mordor, guided by Gollum. What they don't know is that Gollum is leading them into a trap so that he can reclaim the Ring for himself. Though Sam suspects his deceit, Frodo is starting to be corrupted by the Ring's power and the mistrust of Sam this causes is fully exploited by Gollum. The only way good can prevail in this contest is if the Ring is destroyed, an event that is becoming harder every minute for Frodo to achieve. The fate of every living creature in Middle Earth will be decided once and for all as the Quest of the Ringbearer reaches its climax. Written by rmlohner

Almost 10 years later and no movies can even come close to the greatness of this trilogy. Avatar? No. Doesn't even compare. Nowhere near the epicness that LOTR was. The way you could care and connect to every single character, the way you felt like you were in the war with them, all the emotions and the excitement... I don't think I will ever experience that with any other movie for as long as I live.

some may say that this movie doesnt really deserve the oscars, i think they are blind, if u dnt like this movie than i dnt think u have any emotion any feelings and no heart...... how much effort and money was put into this films. wow ITS unbelievable, songs wer created just for this film, how much effort in the historical part was put in this movie, this movie is a movie of a grand scale. such a wonderful THE GREATEST FILM EVER HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!

Tell me who said that Avatar can be compared to The Lord of the Rings, so I can punch him in the face.

2001 isn't old.

[Raidoliiv]

Wait a sec...All these 3 EPIC episodes were made in 3 years starting 2001 ? wow...so old but...cool movies

[DJArnoldiVideos]

You can say about it is the best or not the best. But think about the makers of it...they have maked a film about a hard, long and difficult story. You cant disagree about some different parts in compare with some in the book, but some words could not be the same as in the movie and some parts in the film are better than in the book. Different media, different way of experience. In the end: a huge project... In that way I think its the greatets movie ever...
