Just too LONG!!!!

Rating: 3/10 (24 January 2008)

If I can only describe the whole movie with one word only, that word will surely be "LONG". It is 4 hours and 11 minutes long with a predictable ending. It is such a pain to wait for the climax. The climax is no longer exciting no matter how perfect it is, as the audience has already suffered for 3 hours already. While I watched this movie, the whole cinema was happy about the ending. Not because of it had a good ending but because it finally ended.
It is such a waste to film this movie in New Zealand, as the scenes are all computer-composed. It is also very difficult to memorize all the character, places names. The script is basically composed by a group of proper nouns which are unreal.
The only thing I like about the movie is the costume that Gandalf wore. It is purely white which I think is cool.
It might be great if it is shown on TV in episodes, but surely not worth to spend 4 hours in a cinema for this movie.
