An excellent film, but needed more editing!

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2003)

A bit too long - no need for this movie to be the 3 1/2 hours it was. The first two films were so good, we know this one could have been edited down to under 3 hours! Minor changes in the plot, but basically true to Tolkein's essense. Top-notch action scenes, superb graphics, one of the best films of 2003!
