The Recovery of the Monarch

A Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

This one finally explains some of Gollum’s back story. Which I found helpful for understanding his motivation throughout the other films.

This one’s really gory in my opinion. I did not like that, but I understand that most of it was probably important to the story

This one has more action though, and seemed more interesting to me.

Turns out it’s called The Lord of the Rings because whoever holds the “main” one ring controls them all making him, you guessed it: The Lord of the Rings. I still think it’s still a super odd story but I’m glad that so many people find so much enjoyment in it.

Even after seeing all three I’m confused, I feel like I never heard some characters names, I also feel like there were a ton of moments that I couldn’t understand why people were fighting but assumed it was over the ring.

The biggest caveat to that problem is that I got distracted a little by my phone and computer, after all it is about 4 hours a piece. So I’m going to give myself a break on this and probably Google other questions.

I’m going to keep this relatively short to avoid spoilers.

Final review: It’s worth watching once. I’m glad to have seen them, but I’ll admit I really don’t feel like making the over 10-hour commitment for a very long time.
