Details: Amazon.ca A grand finale to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, begun in 2000 by Peter Jackson, The Return of the King is also one of the most awarded films in Oscar history. Indeed, like Ben Hur and Titanic, this epic work collected 11 statuettes in 2004. The armies of Sauron besiege Minas Tirith, capital of Gondor. Will Aragorn find the courage to fulfill his destiny by becoming king of the city and leading men into battle, rallied by the warriors of Rohan, their leader Théoden, and by Gandalf? Although few in number, all available forces will be used to create a diversion and let Frodo accomplish the ultimate mission. But the brave Hobbit, accompanied by Sam and Gollum, will he be able to find enough strength in himself to destroy the evil ring? Despite the somewhat tedious stretching of the outcome, it must be recognized that Peter Jackson exercises his best, in The Return of the King, his qualities as a filmmaker and storyteller. Stunning staging, striking moments of intensity and poignant emotional scenes, the film perfectly conveys the breadth of the breath of JRR Tolkien's work. Presented on a double DVD embellished with three documentaries and 6 featurettes explaining well the secrets of the realization and the production, The Return of the King makes us, in reality, regret that the adventure is already over. –Helen Faradji Special Features Commentary with Director & Writers � Commentary with Design Team � Commentary with Production and Post Production � Commentary with Cast � The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - The Untold Story Trailer � Easter Egg - Elijah Wood/Dominic Monaghan "Hans Jensen" Berlin Interview at Easter Egg - MTV Movie Awards 2004: The Pitch
