Synopsis

As armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.​

Would The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King be a good pick for a mixed group? Trying to find something that gives everyone a way into the conversation.

Niamh, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.

Eimear, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

For anyone considering The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
