3 hours and 21 minutes...seemed like twice that

Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2004)

This movie dragged on for what seemed like six hours. The primary battle scenes are fantastic and a worthy final chapter to the story. Of course, all three movies dragged on seemingly endlessly with uninteresting hobbit conversation and bickering.
I rate this movie a "3" due to a 3 hr 21 minutes of mostly boredom for me. If it had been half that long...I'd rate it a "6" for being a very interesting story with great effects.
