Worst of the trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2003)

I have no idea why people freak out with this movie and vote it to #3 already. It's the worst part of the trilogy by far, it never finds its rhythm, the special effects are flawed, the music is overdone and it's boring. It really looks like a 6hr movie cut down to 200mins by some guy who has no idea at all of storytelling. Parts that must be short are overlong, others are way too short which could need some explanation. No character developments at all, hints at stuff that doesn't appear anywhere in the movie (confrontation of the witchking and gandalf for example) and a heap load of boredom really spoiled my experience. It looks like a 3hr trailer for the extended edition.
