 To Mordor and Back By David Edelstein
There's a sequence an hour into Peter Jackson's The Return of the King (New Line), the final film of his The Lord of the Rings trilogy, that renders any narrative confusions, any objections to the lack of fidelity to J.R.R.

 Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003): Reviews
The deep satisfaction of The Return of the King is in surrendering ourselves to the finale, in letting Jackson's superb storytelling (with due credit to co-screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens) surround us like a blazing campfire tale -- which it does, gloriously.
It’s odd and unfortunate, however, that The Return of the King just barely misses the eye-misting emotional wallop of the series’ previous installment, The Two Towers, which had a lyrical subtlety underpinning the vast vistas of growing chaos (and Christopher Lee hardly hurt matters) and hobbits-in-peril.

 NBC5.com - Entertainment - Video Review: 'The Return Of The King'
With "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," filmmaker Peter Jackson has not only created a grand spectacle that's an instant classic, he's completed the insurmountable task of not only sustaining, but heightening the tension with each "Lord of the Rings" film chapter.
"The Return of the King" begins by chronicling the origins of Smeagol (Andy Serkis), and the ugly path he took that transformed him into the twisted creature Gollum.

In addition to online featurettes from thelordoftherings.net, the 2-disc set has in-depth production documentaries on the making of the film and Jackson's quest to get in getting the films made.

In the theatrical version, we didn't know whether the King had accepted Aragorn's offer when the pirate ships pulled into the harbor; here Jackson assumes that viewers have already experienced that tension, and instead has the army of the dead join the battle in an earlier scene (an extended cameo for Jackson).
To complete the experience, The Return of the King provides the same sprawling set of features as the previous extended editions: four commentary tracks, sharp picture and thrilling sound, and two discs of excellent documentary material far superior to the recycled material in the theatrical edition.
Return of the King is the most dramatic film, tragic on almost a biblical level, and certainly the most satisfying.
