Movie Reviews of The Return of the King
Movie Review: the ending bakshi forgot to film for the lord of the rings
Summary: 4 Stars
Saw this movie on laserdisc years ago it was also titled "frodo of the nine fingers and the ring of doom". This film pickes up about where the lord of the rings movie by ralph bakshi ended. It tells the rest of the story of ring. This movie was done in the style of the older Rankin Bass carton the hobbit. Using the much simpler animation of the earlier movie makes this one a bit less distracting then the lord of the rings. The complex story of J.r.r. Tolkien was one that was exceptionally difficult for any artist to bring to the screen and it resulted in a fragmented tale this movie "the return of the king" attempted to finish the tale and tie up the story. if you are a tolkien fan whether you love this movie or hate it, I would recommend it just to finish the tale. If you just relax and enjoy the movie its a pretty good tale. It also has a few interesting songs in it like "where there's a whip there's a way"Movie Review: Attention bad reviewers: This is a cartoon!
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me say that it has been a few years since I last saw this movie. I have read several of the other reviews on this film, most of which comment on the missing parts or thechnical insufficiencies, and have but one thing to say:This is a cartoon, people. This film was intended for children. No movie has ever been made that was 100% of the book. You can't expect miracles in 97 minutes.
I remember this movie as entertaining. I was probably 11 the last time I saw it. It got me interested in the books and made me greatly anticipate the current film versions. When i first heard that the LOTR trilogy was being redone, the first words that ran through my mind were, "Frodo of the nine fingers, and the ring of doom". I was thrilled. I couldn't believe it.
Those of you who had to, "force yourselves to finish watching", should be ashamed. I couldn't believe anyone could be so literal.
Movie Review: Not Quite As Good As The Hobbit
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this movie for my wife so that she could complete her collection of the Orson Bean animated Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
PROS: Return to true animation from that ridiculous mess that was The Lord of the Rings (1978 Animated Movie) (Remastered Deluxe Edition). Also the voicing that was so well done in The Hobbit has returned and allows for a very nice transition and conclusion to the story.
CONS: Not many, but my family agreed that we all like the Hobbit just that little bit more for the character of Bilbo. Other than that this movie a great return for Orson Bean and cast.
Movie Review: This is the Other Good Animated LOTR Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again, I would like to reiterate that this movie and the Hobbit were made by a different director and different animation team than the "Lord of the Rings" animated DVD. This movie, like the Hobbit, has good animation and more clever, catchy songs. This is a telling of the end of the Lord of the Rings saga, and it does puzzle me as to why this animation team never did the Fellowship of the Ring or The Two Towers. In any case, if you liked the Hobbit, this is another great movie. If you disliked the "Lord of the Rings" DVD that has been mistakenly placed in this series, this movie is much better.Movie Review: Lets just say the DVD is better than The Hobbit DVD (Barely)
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok the only real problem with this DVD is with the inside cover. It has the track listings is for "The Lord of the Rings" DVD movie. The DVD itself is about as good as the VHS tape. While I'm not over joyed with the cover picture, at least all of the audio and sound effects are there. (See "The Hobbit" DVD reviews!) Remember Tolkien fans this is the only "Return of the King" DVD we will have till 2004!~Rob~
