Plot: Sauron's forces have laid siege to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in their efforts to eliminate the race of men. The once-great kingdom, watched over by a fading steward, has never been in more ...( read more read more... )desperate need of its king. But can Aragorn answer the call of his heritage and become what he was born to be? In no small measure, the fate of Middle-earth rests on his broad shoulders. With the final battle joined and the legions of darkness gathering, Gandalf urgently tries to rally Gondor's broken army to action. He is aided by Rohan's King Theoden, who unites his warriors for history's biggest test. Yet even with their courage and passionate loyalty, the forces of men--with Eowyn and Merry hidden among them--are no match for the enemies swarming against Gondor. Still, in the face of great losses, they charge forward into the battle of their lifetimes, tied together by their singular goal to keep Sauron distracted and give the Ring Bearer a chance to complete his quest. Their hopes rest with Frodo, a tiny but determined hobbit making a perilous trip across treacherous enemy lands to cast the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. The closer Frodo gets to his final destination, the heavier his burden becomes and the more he must rely on Samwise Gamgee. Gollum--and the Ring itself--will test Frodo's allegiances and, ultimately, his humanity.

    I dont like the main actor. He acted like a robot, no feeling at all. And the character is just a weak stupid man.

    "Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

    A gripping conclusion to the fantasy series Lord of the Rings. As Middle Earth faces it's final battle against Mordor and our unlikely hero struggles onwards to destroy its evil, the action never stops. There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice. The journey will come to an end...

    clearly overrated and to much of the cut and slices. Sure the talk was done in the first movie, but this is just a little bit over boiled and trashed with to much victory dances and dialog that makes me feel seasick.

    From...Princess Monica Kwabena
    E-mail:monicae46@gmail.com
    Dear Friend.

    Princess Monica need your help.
    Good day and Compliments.

    I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
    God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you
    abundantly and you would never regret this. I am a female student from
    University of Legon, Accra-Ghana.

    I am 24 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home
    oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know
    more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time
    coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father
    died earlier two months ago and left me and my two junior brothers behind.

    He was a king in Ashanti land, which our town citizens titled him over
    sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only
    person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is
    still young and my mother is not leaned enough to know my entire father's
    wealth. He left the sum of USD 7.5m (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand US
    Dollars) in ECO BANK GHANA LTD.

    This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Mining
    Company, development company (GMCG)) and chevron oil company operating in
    our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our
    jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money
    somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what
    belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without
    my present because I am a female as stated by our Ashanti culture in the
    town.

    Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
    security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by the
    grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay
    20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and
    another 10% interest of Annual after Income to you, for handling this
    transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.

    If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
    lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is
    100% risk free. My lawyer has assured me that this transaction is going to
    last for only 14( Fourteen) working days and I hope to commence the
    transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as soon as I
    hear from you.

    God bless you.

    Yours sincerely.

    I like all the LTR movies. They are a bit long however and like star wars, I get confused which movie I am watching. But fantasy movies are fun to get lost in.

    Aragorn: "Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*"

    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.

    No other movie can compare with this one. It has everything. You can feel every character and you stand next to him even when all ends, even when the fellowship takes different ways, you still know what will happen to each character and how they 're going to spend their lives. It's an action film but it has very special meanings to give to the audience. For instance that many people are doing something for one common purpose.It's an action movie with emotion. The visual effects are perfect and the direction of Peter Jackson as well. The acting is great and when you put all these in a movie you have the best.

    The third film is really great and magical and funny, but it can be confusing (as well as the other two first movies can be). But if you sit down and really listen to it, you can enjoy it!!

    Well theese movies are good and I would rate it over average but I would agree that there are too many of theese films and they slow down in some bits and start getting boring the films are just a bit to long really they try to make them long but the longest films arent always the best.They just take longer to sort the film out.
