Let me just say that as a movie The Return of the King is good. I enjoyed it. But to me it’s just a rip off J.R.R. Tolkiens Return of the King. Sure it is a beautiful movie. The backgrounds are amazing and the characters gorgeous. But when you alter a story so much over the course of 10 hours it just doesn't feel right. The ending is shameful to what is written in the book. The battle scenes are inaccurate. They don't even go into depth about the palantir. Beregond is not even mentioned.

I knew someone would wine because it didnt live up to the book. Maybe you should realize that THIS WASNT A FRIGGIN BOOK !. It was a MOVIE. You cant expect a movie to live up to its book or to follow it exactly. It just doesent happen. The movie would have had to have been like 6 hours long and probably packed with boring meaningless dialougue . Get real

I think Peter Jackson, the man that knows the limits of making a movie, who studied the works of Tolkein tirelessly, would know better than you what should and shouldnt have been included from the book.

This movie has EVERYTHING that makes a great movie regaurdless of whatever crap they left out from the book. Obviously it wasnt needed because they still told the story well and produced 3 great epics. Maybe the book was better...they usually are better than movies...but that doesent mean that the movie was any worse.

You have every right to think the movie wasnt great...but what kind of half assed reasons are those
