3/4
"Still a pretty stirring epic and is a worthy conclusion to the saga."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

5/5
"So impeccably and artfully done that we can hardly breathe, immobilised by emotion, suspense, the sheer spectacle, the intimate drama."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

3/5
"A lot of it is just hacking and slashing on a mammoth scale, which is still just hacking and slashing."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

A+
"Every inch the finale this saga deserves, cementing its place as one of the seminal cinematic achievements of our time."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

B+
"Not one of the 10 best films of the year, but it would be no surprise if it walks off with many major awards."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B+
"Special effects are first rate with the Gollum sequences virtually flawless."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

5/5
"The Return of the King is one of the finest things I've ever seen. And that includes stuff like sunrises and babies and the original, unaltered Star Wars."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

A-
"Surpasses the extraordinary visual standards set by its predecessors."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

2.5/4
"Sometimes intoxicating, occasionally exhilarating."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
