Another wonderful look inside the mind of Peter Jackson

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2013)

This second addition was a wonder to look at. I am a fan of Peter Jackson and the LOTR series.
I have been waiting for another trilogy to take me away and this one has. I know these movies are long for some people, but I enjoy the time away from everything.
The detail has always been impressive, but this time around the sub plots give way to a larger target audience, and his epic size evolution of the story is intoxicating. Well done Peter Jackson, well done.
The cliff hanger style movie has yet still to be perfected, the old 1930s cliff hangers had down pat, but since we view everything in completions, we still have yet to discover how to balance that need to complete the film yet leave enough open to invite the audience back. It is a special thing in timing to do and I haven't seen anyone do it right in a long time, not even in matrix.
This one lacked that one crucial feature, closure, I felt no closure in the film. It has to have closure in every film, or you film empty at the end.
