Good to a point, then rushed to the end(s)

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2003)

This is one of those movies that really NEEDED to be longer, a LOT longer. There are too many things that just get rushed past. I hope the director's cut is at LEAST 4 hours as I think too much of the story was cut out for "theater pacing" when the story really NEEDS to be longer.
That aside, it was an excellent bookend to the trilogy. Acting,Sets, Costumes, Music, SFx, were all Top Notch.
