The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Pitch Meeting

Overview

The Lord of the Rings movies were incredibly successful and critically acclaimed, for good reason. With revolutionary special effects, costumes, make-up and more -- Peter Jackson’s movies became instant classics, and he wrapped up the trilogy with The Return of the King in which the king… returns. The movie was critically acclaimed and a massive success at the box office, but it still raises a few questions. Like what’s up with Frodo being the absolute worst? How does he always end up siding with Gollum? Why didn’t they include Saruman’s death in the theatrical cut? Why does Frodo keep getting stabbed? Why does Denethor eat tomatoes like that? What’s up with the sudden ghost deus ex machina? When is this movie actually going to end?
