Dir. Peter Jackson. 2003, 250 min (extended version). With Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortenson. The adventures of Frodo, Aragorn, Gollum, Gandalf, and all of Tolkien’s other colorful characters come to a rousing conclusion in the pull-out-all-the-stops final chapter of Peter Jackson’s epic. This intensely emotional and visually dazzling movie— gargantuan Hollywood filmmaking at its very best—won eleven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
