I bought this DVD as I enjoyed "Return of the King" so much that I went to the cinema 3 times and wanted a souvenir.I'm glad I didn't watch this lack lustre documentary first or I'd have not wished to see such a boring film ! A few clips from Return of The King are shown and some very unconvincing comparisons with real people from history are made. For example, Aragorn is compared with William Wallace.Other characters are compared with Churchill and Hitler amongst other figures in history. The only thought provoking insight was linking the dead marshes to World War One. If you like Lord of the Rings, wait for the DVD of Jackson's film.
