5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute must for Ring Addicts!!, 12 Nov 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King Visual Companion (Hardcover)
This is a hardback book, oversize so it can accommodate the quality of images and text. A "coffee table" edition is what people would label it. This book is a more definitive version than the photo guide, and it goes into the story with more details and more images.

In the first chapter "The Great Task", it recaps the first two movies and what all the characters were doing. Then for Return of the King, Chapter Two pick up with the Kingdom of Gondor, the Realm Aragon is destined to rule. Under the rule of Denethor, father of Boromir and Faramir, he is only the Steward of Gondor. Discovering Boromir's death through one of the seeing-stones has made him power-mad in his grief and bordering on insanity. He is determined to hold on to the throne of Gondor and blames his son, Faramir, for setting Frodo with the One Ring free, and means to stand against Aragon's return as the King of Gondor.

The book adds background for people who love the Rings movies, but have not read Tolkien books, and maybe have a few questions. This is not only a wonderful showcase, super packed with gorgeous photos, but explains little nuances to the non-reader of the books, the film assumes you understand.

So this book is highly recommended to Ring Collectors, but also for lovers of the movie wanting to know a little more. The images are stunning, well selected and give you a piece of the movie to keep forever.

Great Christmas or birthday gift for your LOTR fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars think twice, 28 Jun 2004
if you already bought the visual companion to the fellowship or the two towers then this book is a disappointment. too many images from the previous two films, too few from the return of the king. missing when they shouldn't be are shelob (one big spider), grond the battering ram, gothmog the orc general (particularly when he's riding his warg). ok, so they couldn't put in the cgi images, but even the photo guide has images from the houses of the healing, and everyone's seen the photos of the mouth of sauron on the internet so he should have been in there too. by the way, who is the red-eyed man on the back cover?

4.0 out of 5 stars a good coverage of the story, 6 Mar 2004
By A Customer
As with the other two visual companions, this has a good background to the events unfolding as well as detailing the different places and people we encounter in The Return of the King. However, it sometimes seems to confuse the events which actually happen in the film and which in the book, so occasionally one ends up feeling slightly mystified about what is being described.

But don't let that one negative thing put you off - it is still definitely worth buying if you want more background to the film.
