The gran finale; will good prevail over evil?

If you liked the battle scenes in The Two Towers, wait, you haven't seen anything yet. I especially love the ending of this film; some directors would have skipped it and ended the movie after the last battle. Major kudos to Peter Jackson and his crew!

This is the longest of the three films; over four hours. And, if you are afraid of spiders, you'll want to fast forward through a few scenes.

• Commentary by the Director and Writers
• Commentary by the Design Team
• Commentary by the Production & Post-Production Teams
• Commentary by the Cast
• 6 original documentaries covering adapting the book into a screenplay, designing Middle-earth, a visit to the Weta Workshop, costume design and more
• Two interactive maps: Middle-earth Atlas and New Zealand as Middle-earth
• Galleries with audio commentaries (includes an archive of over 2,000 images)
• 7 original documentaries covering the filming of The Return Of The King, the visual effects, editing, music and sound, and a touching tribute as the cast bids a fond farewell to Middle-earth and the characters they played

It simply doesn't get any better than these three films. The actors, acting and script for all three films are first rate. Yes, they will take over eleven hours to watch but this shouldn't be a problem. Stock up on your favorite food and beverages, invite some friends over early one morning, and have a great day (yes, I'm speaking from experience)! This is one set of movies I can never see Hollywood doing a remake on.
