dull in comparison to the prequels

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2008)

i think everyone expected so much from this after the last two movies. i did, and i was very much disappointed. the story line is convoluted. having two villains is a bad idea. the movie is unnecessarily long, and towards the end, it feels more like a task to watch the movie than a pleasure. the acting isn't terrible, as expected, but the storyline certainly is weak. the writers tried to hard to live up to the inevitable hype, and trying so hard has ruined the movie.
the first villain is good, and it is very much enough. why they had to put in a second one i will never know. the CGI is good, and the visuals amazing, but attention is not sustained throughout. the storyline is simply too long. no matter how much i try, i just cant stop thinking 'when will this end?' i don't recommend it. very disappointing.
