oh, oh, frodo look out. you might get betrayed. The Return Of The King is the last movie in the series Frodo is almost about to get rid of the one ring. will he succeed and save middle earth or fail and destroy everyone. i guess you'll have to watch and find out. this is a very good movie just like the rest i love these movies. i recommend it to everyone

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. "The Lord of the Rings- The Return of the King" is one of the most finely tuned and cinematically perfect movie ever made. Not only the best of the trilogy, but a crowning achievement in epic movie making.

Delivered to my apartment in excellent condition. The DVDs was packaged well and I placed them in the dvd player without a scratch on them. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

My sister had the first two movies and she let me borrow them. I fell in love with them because they were like an MMORPG in a movie. There are three movies and they are all great. I once had the extended versions of the movies and there was a lot more footage in them, but I felt the original ones were better because they were shorter and kept out insufficient scenes. The movies are terribly long, but it is worth it. I had a dream about Sauron and it was a nightmare. So don't watch these movies when you go to sleep, or you will have unpleasant nightmares. Other than that, these movies are fantastic and worth the money!

This might be my favorite movie out of the LOTR trilogy just for the amount of emotion and the Battle of Minas Tirith, with Éowyn killing the witch-king. This trilogy have three of my favorite movies of all time.

Blu-ray of the Extended Versions would be worth the price. As it is, the standard DVD's of the Extended Versions look pretty good upscaled and viewed from my sofa 12 feet away.

Is it really necessary to release the theatrical versions separately to the extended cuts? Absolutely not. Shameless money spinning at the expense of loyal fans (again). Save your money.

First to the person that said, I wish you would stop crying all I need is the theatrical version, well good for you, You are getting what You want. but the vast majority of us love the EXTENDED VERSION and should not have to settle for less, AGAIN. Shame on you New Line for doing this, all over yet again. But thankfully I have blockbuster, I'll just rent them until the extended versions come out, AGAIN,, seeing a common theme here?????????????????????????? New Line, We want to love you HELP US, HELP YOU

First question I had when I saw this product now available ...I wa...yet againnted the extended version and not waste my money again ...thanks for writing your reviews and alerting us!

My favorite film series ever, and one of the few that I would upgrade to blu-ray, but after seeing the superb extended version DVDs, anything less just feels incomplete, and I am NOT being suckered into buying this twice again.

The price for this keyboard is listed as almost $100,000.00? I think this needs fixed.

This item originally retailed for $19.99 and is an excellent item. Paying more than 5 times the MSRP is a waste of your money though. Wait for the seller to drop the price to a reasonable level, or buy it from someplace else. This seller must be a complete idiot & think that other people are too to try and sell the item for just under 100 thousand dollars.

Dont let the price put you off!! Honestly this Keyboard is quality and at a tad under one hundred thousand. I bought two of these babies and sold my porsche and holiday island retreat to pay them but boy was it worth it. I was able to play LOR BFME 2 with ease. so go ahead and sell the family jewels and look out for the Tetris dedicated keyboard its worth cashing you pension and bonds in.

The keyboard is setup like the other RTS ZBOARDS. The only thing I would change would be moving the special commands from the right side to the left side, its kind of pointless to have both the mouse and keys on one side. But I just move my keyboard over, no fowl just a little bit of work:)

Images of the "White Tree of Gondor" logo were among the most under-exploited of all the LotR merchandising that followed from Peter Jackson's wonderful adaptations. This is one of the few and at least the best of the vinyl car decal stickers I've seen, so I give it three stars. It could have gotten five, but there's one rather glaring flaw. The White Tree is not depicted in white! In creating the logo, Graphic-FX chose to represent the tree as a cutaway inside a coloured background. The white (as seen here) and black backgrounds are the only ones that are bearable, while all the others (yellow, red, blue, green, pink????) are useless with the colorless cutaway design. They only needed one design - a black background with a white tree - the one that Tolkien actually described. The logo itself is very elegant (kudos to Weta again), but Graphic-FX rather missed the point of the White Tree of Gondor.

I traded the game back into amazon's trade in store. It was too hard for me but it was fun until I could not get past the first mission. Good graphics too.

Like most PS3 shooter/Melee games I find myself pushing all the buttons as fast as I can in no apparent pattern while sweating profusely and feeling like I'm going 100mph on an icy highway with tractor trailers all around. But it might just be me.

This game is really fun and cool. This game actually is set up very much like the Star Wars Battlefront series. I like the way it is played. You have certain point in which you have to either defend, or attack. In doing so, you earn checkpoints. These checkpoints allow you to change your character in the middle of the game. In certain parts you get to select a Hero for battle!! The great thing about this game is that you can actually play as the enemy. So, you have the choice of being the good or evil side. The graphics are incredible. The music and the sound put you into the action. The voices of the characters are really cool as well. The controls are pretty easy, although there are many different combinations that you can perform using your weapon. It is a very challenging game and learning each character's attack is essential. For example, I couldn't beat Sauron using Gandalf, or an archer or scout because I wasn't used to playing as those characters. I ended up beating Sauron using a warrior. Which I played most of the level with and so I was used to using. I think you are a Lord of the Rings fan, this is a definite item to put in your collection. Also, the PS3 allows you to download the upgrades to the game to further enhance the experience. The game also has a cool multiplayer game where you and another player can be on the same screen fighting the same battle. Or do a head to head battle. I have not yet played on-line, but looking forward to trying it once I get the hang of the game by completing the many levels of difficulty.

I was gritting my teeth the entire time I played this game. It was made by the same people that made the great game Star Wars: Battlefront. So I thought it would be like that but in Middle Earth. Sounds great, right?! Or maybe not. The environments are completely unimaginative, repetitive, and very limited. I felt like I was confined in each level. The controls were also a dull point to me. The only positive thing I can say about it was that it was neat to see the characters on the PS3 because I love The Lord of the Rings. Oh and I'm also glad I only spent $20.00 on it.

I originally bought this game for PC,and when my PC wouldn't run it, I decided it was time to upgrade and get a PS3. It was worth it! Since I am a lord of the rings fan I already knew I would like this game, but the fairly good graphics, large scale battles, and great gameplay and controls could satisfy your average player too. The evil campaign was also very entertaining. If you were a battlefront fan, enjoy action adventure games, or are a fan of LOTR then this game is for you!

Well this game has pretty good multi-play and that is about the end of the PROS. The CONS are many so far as I have seen. First the price I see on Amazon says like $93.61 or something and I'm scratching my head like is this is Martian Kronars or Dollars? Did I fall asleep like Rip Van Winkle and wake up and my currency has been devalued to pennies for each dollar or what is up with that?! More CONS include AI levels are missing and how they impact your solo play. If you choose EASY the computer plays like he is simpleminded and almost never attacks and simple sits in his own camp waiting for you to attack him when you are ready. If you choose Medium, you'd better be a mean fighting expert because he will rush you with sets of troops getting progressively harder with each wave until he breaks your camp down. From what I can see there needed to be about two more levels like Easy+ just like Easy but not a COMPLETE stoop. There also needs to be a Not quite Medium level where the computer sends waves of troops to attack but takes a breather every now and then to let you rebuild from the onslaught. Other Cons include the view is pretty well zoomed in by default and you CAN ZOOM in MORE if you want your nose pressed against the Towers and walls to work on that crosseyed thing BUT sadly there is no option to ZOOM further OUT to see the whole camp. Instead you are left resorting to people yelling "They're attacking the camp!" and a tiny golden ping on the minimap to hint at what you wish you could have seen if ONLY you could have zoomed out and not been quite as Surprised as the guy who was yelling for help "They're attacking the camp!" "They're attacking the camp!" becomes a common thing if you are playing medium. More CONS is custom maps. Found one of several custom map sites like http://bfme2.heavengames.com/ but sadly nobody on this site seems to be able to stop boasting about their custom map long enough to explain exactly where do WE PUT these downloaded maps to ACTUALLY use them so we can know for ourselves how awesome and brilliant you were... All in all a good game if you are interested in just playing the campaign through once and finding someone human to play a few rounds against multiplay via Hamachi or something. Skirmish is toast with the lack of AI levels 1 too easy 2 too tough (difficulty 1.4 and 1.6 would have been a huge plus but no luck) Maybe they could use the windfall from their $93.61 to see it in their massive budget to slap a few useful AI levels into this game. Nah - never gonna happen. Play-testing people. You know QA!? It's all about spending the few weeks actually letting actual gamers play with your software before trying to SELL it.

when i first got this game 2 years ago, it was [...]$ now it is an average of [...]$! now that shows how great the game is! the only thing is that if you have a problem TS sucks! but the game is awsome! i highly recomend this game! it is #3 on my top RTS games my #1 is C&C 3 #2 DoW2 then this game! i absautly love it (im 13) but i have incounterd 25 year olds playing online!

I'm writing this review from the point of view of a casual gamer who only plays against the computer; I like being able to quit a game whenever I feel like it. So, obviously, I'll only be commenting on the single-player modes. The campaign modes of the game features nothing from the movies proper, instead focusing on the "War in the North" - the Goblins versus the Elves and Dwarves. The campaign is comparatively short, featuring only about 1/3 of the missions of the original BFME, presented in a fixed order. However, the locales and actual missions are varied and well-designed, avoiding the monotony that was 75% of the BFME I campaigns (a.k.a. destroy the enemy base, which was always located directly opposite you on the map, and maybe fulfill the ridiculously easy secondary objective). As you can tell from the campaigns, three new factions are introduced - Goblins (roughly equivalent to the spam-happy Mordor from BFME I - units that are weak but cheap with a few random heavy hitters), Dwarves (incredibly strong and ponderously slow, very good on the defensive), and Elves (think Gondor from BFME I and soup it up, making them stronger and faster but are slightly weaker defensively as a trade off). Gondor and Rohan have been combined into the "Men of the West" faction, combining the best of both worlds, and Mordor has been made slightly more robust, including adding a few more heroes, but have lost the free orcs. Isengard, with the exception of adding new heroes, is pretty much identical. My favorite addition to the game is the "War of the Ring" mode, which takes the campaign mode from BFME I and turns it into a Risk type of game, with territories able to be reconquered, garrisoned, built up and more. This adds a great level of strategy and fun to the game, and any battles can be auto-resolved or fought out in real-time. My only complaints about this mode are that the AI tends to be too agressive, leaving their territories undefended, and that the players only can have three armies that invade other territories (they led by pre-selected heroes you have at the beginning of the game; later heroes you build can't lead armies). The create-a-hero feature is a cool concept, but I would have liked to see more options - each character can only have certain skills depending on their class (wizard, orc, et cetera), which is fine, but we only get 12 or so to choose from. Appearance options are even worse, with only a sparse variety - you can't even change hair color. And every hero costs 2000 resources, no matter how powerful or useless they are. (This was apparently fixed in the now-difficult-to-find expansion pack, "Rise of the Witch King") Also, a lot of the little annoying things from BFME I have been fixed. Unit-producing buildings now can be upgraded by purchasing an upgrade, cutting out the rank-based-on-production system that never worked because the command point limit was so low - another issue that has been resolved in BFME II, with a base CP limit of 1000 that is adjustable (it also is realistic - player start a game with 100 CPs and, as they build up their infrastructure, get more). Resource gathering is now based on territory and buildings can be built anywhere, which makes the game more realistic - factions now battle it out for the entire map instead of trying to control one of several arbitrarily-chosen "expansion points." There is also a new difficulty for the AI - "Brutal" - for those of us who found the "Hard" opponents somewhat lacking. All in all, this is a very worthwhile game that is both deeper than BFME I (thereby pleasing the BFME and other RTS veterans) while still being fairly easy to pick up (meaning the rookies will enjoy it). It's quality and fun, but has enough frustrations and shortcomings to land it squarely in 4-star territory.

The game was shipped and recieved much earlier than I expected, so I was very pleased. The disc came exactly as it was described to me, so there were no unexpected problems. I am a satisfied customer.

This a great game. You can play it for hours. Lots of battles for sure to play
