Could this film take longer to end?

Rating: 2/10 (14 September 2004)

I loved the first Lord of the Rings, and The Two Towers was okay (the Director's Cut was better), but this film just dragged and dragged.
The seven scenes around the funeral pyre were about six too many for me. (That wasn't a spoiler. You don't know who or why or where.) Actually, it shouldn't be possible to write spoilers of this film. Who doesn't know the story? Actually, even if you don't, the film is stupidly predictable. I left midway through the film to go to the bathroom (and almost didn't come back) and despite spending about 20 minutes procrastinating returning to the theatre, apparently all I missed was PEOPLE GETTING FROM POINT A TO POINT B!!! A truly disappointing finale to the series.
