Premiere Reviews: Return of the King

"With The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, director Peter Jackson and his armies of actors and technicians have managed to do what the Wachowski brothers and George Lucas could not: make a perfect trilogy."

Empire Film Review: Return of the King

"The resounding climax to a landmark in cinema history. But the King has now returned, the story is over and the ships are leaving Middle-earth. Ladies and gentlemen, Elvish has left the building."

Empire Film Review: Bad Taste

"A four-year production history that shows in the many lines of dialogue that later had to be dubbed over unmoving lips and a script that really could have used a few more jokes and plot twists to go with its uniquely horror-comic sensibility."

King Kiwi

He is the biggest thing to have come out of New Zealand, thanks to something called a hobbit. Part three of Lord of the Rings premieres here next week, and now its director is set to take on another world-beater... King Kong
