Synopsis
The final battle for Middle-earth begins as Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer Frodo may complete his quest.
Review
The saga ends with a final battle of Middle-Earth as all else depends on Frodo's effort in destroying the Ring. Jackson's last chapter of the epic journey ends in the most grandeur, epic way as possible as the tale progresses with proper pacing albeit various character developments. The cinematography is as charming as its predecessor, which segregated parts of the story taking place at a few different place of Middle-Earth are systematically broken down into chronologically inter-related events. While the setting of the Middle-Earth gets abruptly darker as Frodo and Sam set foot into the evil realm of Mordor, hope still prevails across the land of Men as Gondor and Rohan join forces to fight one last battle with the Orcs. In conclusion, the third part of the story relishes on the courage of Men and celebrates the ever resilient spirit of perseverance and bravery while facing tough times.
