Way too long

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2013)

The second movie of the trilogy is always questionable. Peter Jackson took a boring section and made it even worse. There was no reason to add extra non-related material just to make the movies longer and more horrible to sit through. Granted the CGI was excellent but it was just too too too long. For as much money as he has, you would think he could hire a decent editor. Legolas and the dwarf do not need a love triangle. It never really did explain why they had Gandolf going to the necromancer and being in a cage. Kingsfoil is not mentioned for four more books. He's taking a classic story and ruining it. Well it's necessary to watch this just to get from the first to the third movie I was quite disappointed in the way he handled this movie.
