As armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

Just outstanding.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a modern masterpiece. Everything is so well made to the best of it's degree - to the heart-thumping amazing music to the visionary (and still great) effects. The entire cast do a magnificent job (particularly Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortenson and Andy Serkis) and the script is very tight for a 3 and a half hour movie. The battle scenes are a showing of how breathtaking fantasy cinema can achieved, and, despite all the fighting, the film is still very beautiful and human. This is my favourite film of all time, and a brilliant ending to the greatest trilogy of all time.
But if you really can't stand spiders, the scene in this one might be a little too horrific for you.

Beautiful
Probably one of the most beautifully finished trilogies of the 21st Century.
