The Return of the King is too long...The various story lines...come together in stilted, episodic ways. The narrative is less-than-seamless. -

This long (nearly three hours), revelatory movie is both a thrilling adventure about endurance and survival, and an elegiac examination of centuries-old tribal culture, fast-fading in the new millennium. -
