Not the strongest of the trilogy!

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2005)

Not the strongest of the trilogy! A lengthy, drawn-out "conclusion." It lacks the heart of the previous two, and lapses on awkwardly with trivial and extraneous characters while he focus obviously should have been elsewhere. I especially despised that tacky "girlpower" bit.
Just goes to show, directors actually CAN drag out irrelevant tacked-on plot pieces, and the ignorant hordes call it EPIC because, hey, it's really long!You can pee 3 times , get popcorn and soda refills,answer your pager,and not miss anything. Most of the dialog is redundant expectancies of ...the end! It's got to end, right? However tediously! And it is tedious! With proper editing, this movie could have been condensed into an hour. But...Guess WHAT? The whole trilogy's been padded so extensively for length so you can pay to see 3, not just 2 films...it's most obvious in this one. Wow. This passes for classic?
