Was it just me or where you glad this thing was over?

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2003)

Unlike other serial movies this was by far the best IMHO. But I sure was glad that last ring hit the molten lava. Whew, whatever you do don't buy a large soda before sitting down, this is one long adventure. I must be honest I was getting tired of Frodo and his malingering or maybe I was just tired of Elijah Wood. Gollum hung around way too long, like a mosquito at a picnic. And what's with the spider? I know she was in the book but it was sort of "cheesey" in a "Lost in Space" kind of way. "Danger, danger Will Robinson!" You get my drift? BTW, Hugo, Neo called and he wants his sunglasses back!
Bravo to Jackson and his wonderful direction. 8/10
