The Return of the King (1980 TV Movie)
6/10
Horrible disgusting music (like the 1977 Hobbit), but slightly better afterall

Slightly better than the Hobbit adaptation of the same director.

The first part of the movie was not good, with a lot of inner dialogue of Sam and no action. Then I think it gets a little better.

Minas Tirith is quite good for me. I missed the Scouring of the shire in the end though. And also there is no mention about the human ghost army led by Aragorn. No elves either (but if they would be the green freaks of the hobbit it's better so). And in the beggining I hoped to see Shelob the spider... but they skipped that part.

What else... Oh, how to forget about the music! So many annoying and disgusting songs!! They try to explain the power of the ring with stupid songs. They only make you want to kill yourself. They ruin all the movie.

If you are a Tolkien fan I think you should see it. Maybe not non-stop, but maybe 20 minutes a day, just to avoid killing yourself because of the songs.
