My rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of epic battle violence, disturbing images and a brief scene involving drinking.

This, The Fellowship of the Ring, and Two Towers are my favorite movies. It is so great, you won't want to miss it. You need to watch the series. They are amazing! The battle scenes are great, because... they aren't dull, or boring or anything, but they aren't horrible either! It's just perfect!

Really? This movie is a classic, and should be watched (and read) by everyone. It has war. Big whoop. It's about as bloody as Poke'mon. That is to say: no blood, no language, no sex, no nudity. The violence in this film is watered down by the amount of stuff going on during the scene. There is so much violence, but it's like Super Mario Bros. style. No blood, but "ugh, I got stabbed. I'm dead." Also, the entire movie is about good triumphing over evil.

Jackson concludes The Lord of the Rings with a bang as the quest comes to its epic finish. The cast, direction, visuals, cinematography, and sound are all top notch. Need I say more? Note to parents: Plenty of violence in this one as well. Long battle scenes, fierce looking creatures, and dark sets may be enough to frighten most young kids. A great ride for teenagers and up.

A great story. I wouldn't reccomend letting a little brother sister stay in the room for battle sequences though. The graphics are pretty strong.

This movie is simply amazing, just as long as you're mature enough to handle all the violence. An epic fantasy. There's an error in the "Role Models" section of the official review here: The description of Theoden as Eowyn's "kingly father" makes no sense, because first, he's her uncle, and second, he is an actual king, not just kingly.

Well this movie has just as bad violence as other movies except in some scenes its worse, Gollum(when he was known as Smeagol) strangles his cousin for the Ring. Heads are thrown in cataupaults to decrease morale in Gondorian infantry protecting the city of Minas Tirith. Trolls, giant creatures that use clubs and giant swords, may scare kids at very young age. Orcs are still scary, especially the Orc commander Gothmog. There is drinking and tobacco smoking, but beverages like ale are different in LOTR, dont have as much alcholo as real life and tobacco has no nicotine or other modern day bad ingredients, and is actually something Gandalf does, and does not affect him at all(but he is a invincible wizard eevn if he smoke cocaine he wouldnt die but other characters smoke it in previous films they arent affected either). Other than mentioned above, epic movie. Wait, one more thing, the scene in Mount Doom when Frodo is supposed to put the Ring in the fire, may make young kids scream, not in fear, but desperation. "DO IT FRODO THROW IT IN THE YELLOWISH RED STUFF FRODY! PLEASE SAM IS TELLING YOU TOO!" "quiet down children im trying to watch the movie" lol

This movie is a masterpiece. One of those movies that you feel good about watching, because there is no degrading material. However, there is a decent bit of violence, more so than the other two. People are stabbed with swords and arrows, decapitated, and killed in many other brutal ways. Also, one character sets himself on fire and jumps off a several thousand foot cliff, committing suicide. There is a small scare factor, with ghost phantoms, dragons, and deformed looking orcs. The final battle scene is jaw-dropping, with tens of thousands of orcs in battle. The orcs are sadistic, and therefore in one scene launch decapitated heads at their enemies. Appropriate for kids age 12 and up, although you may need to adjust that depending on the way they handle violence. Overall, amazing, and I eagerly await The Hobbit in 2012!

i don't care about the violence, it is a must see movie.
