The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
To review a movie like this requires a great deal of writing, and I like to keep my reviews short and to the point. You could see this movie as a stand alone, but it would be better if you saw the first two parts. Going without having seen the first two will mean you will likely have trouble understanding all that's going on, but it's still a great movie. The movie is overwhelming in it's cinematography and scope. The story about honor, friendship, and helping though all odds are against you, just make this a must see movie and trilogy. It's a love story, action movie, fantasy, and just plain good fun. See it on the big screen even if you have a 50" TV. Enough said. We recommend it - highly!!

Storyline From Yahoo: The Fellowship's journey is coming to an end. Sauron's forces have attacked Gondor's capital of Minas Tirith in his final siege against mankind. Watched over by a fading steward, the once great kingdom has never been in more desperate need of its king. But will Aragorn find the strength to become what he was born to be and rise to meet his destiny? As Gandalf desperately tries to move the broken forces of Gondor to act, Théoden unites the warriors of Rohan to join in the fight. Even in their courage and passionate loyalty, the forces of men – with Éowyn and Merry hidden among them – are no match against the swarming legions of enemies raining down on the kingdom. With each victory comes great sacrifice. Despite their great losses, The Fellowship charges forward in the greatest battle of their lifetime, united in their singular goal to give Frodo a chance to complete his quest. Traveling across treacherous enemy lands, Frodo must rely increasingly on Sam and Gollum as The Ring continues to test his allegiance and, ultimately, his soul.
