Mindless Dribble

Rating: 3/10 (22 July 2004)

From beginning to end I can sum this film up in two words, mindless dribble. It took me till the last scene of the film to realize that almost every scene in both The Two Towers and Return Of The King had been tragged on for much longer than it should have done, scenes that should take 2 minutes to watch take 10 minutes, in most scenes it consists of slow motion movement, special effects, and soft meaningless music. I couldn't believe the last 30 minutes of the film, I was actually thinking to myself what am I watching. I believe LOTR trilogy to be no different from the Matrix trilogy, a good start to a story but then in the sequels both films were packed jammed full of special effects, supposedly they thought that if they shoved enough special effects in that in would breath take the audience and maybe they wouldn't think too much about the story. I truly feel embarrassed for the people that have rated this movie in the same league as such real epics as Braveheart, Titanic, Terminator 2 etc. This may bring great controversy and I look forward to hearing your reply's.
