Return of The King(Extended Edition) is four hours of cinematic excellence. This movie is a colossal achievement. It's a masterclass at paying off stories in a powerful yet satisfying manner. This movie's scale and scope easily eclipse the previous movies in the trilogy with the battle at Minas Tirith and at the gates of Mordor. The characters are well written so far in the trilogy and adapted exceedingly well from the books despite some changes here and there. The plot is well structured with its two subplots being fairly balanced instead of one sabotaging the other which feels momentous when they reach their conclusion. It's a commendable job to adapt something so dense as the LOTR books well.
The production feels confident and quite mesmerizing and it captures Middle Earth splendidly. The usage of 35mm film makes the cinematography look authentic and evokes the feel of Middle Earth. The usage of quick cuts is succinct and a great way to show the interwoven and tightly connected subplots. It makes the world seem rich and brimming with life when it comes to locations like Gondor, Mordor, etc. The practical designs and CGI have aged like a fine wine for the whole trilogy. The cinematography makes these movies seem like historical epics thanks to the efforts of Andrew Lisne for which he won an Academy Award.
The battle scenes look gorgeous have aged really well and those battles capture the world of middle earth perfectly. The use of Dutch angles, panning camera with a richer color pallete gives a sense of majesty to its battle scenes. The battle scenes also work due to the intricate human drama bing the driving force within it which lead to high stake situations and keeps you on the edge of your toes.
Overall Return Of The King is Peter Jackson's masterpiece and it is the crowning jewel in the LOTR trilogy and it remains an astonishing achievement looking back twenty years from now and considering the gamble this whole trilogy was this movie paid off and concluded this great trilogy on a high.
