Worst of the three

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2004)

As with the other two films in the series I wonder if the director actually read the book or just had a secretary read bits of it to him.
The scenes are drawn out to ridiculously tedious lengths and bits of the plot are missed out whilst other bits are invented. And of course to appeal to the "ER" watching mentality a romance was invented for the film. Then to add further insult they all burst into song at the end.
I don't know if these films were made chronologically but the actors do seem a bit fed up of the characters by the end. Also, our Shelob was so obviously a computer animation it made the pseudo scary build up a complete anticlimax.
Tedious.
