well...it's good, not perfect

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2003)

just back from the european premiere, and - don't wanna spoil it for others who haven't seen it. just so much: don't expect to be blown away, and you will be very, very satisfied. personally i liked "two towers" much better. i think rotk could do with 20 minutes cut and it would be perfect. it should have stopped at the end, and not gone on and on for another 20 minutes. but let me tell you: the fist 15 minutes of rotk - the story of gollums origin - is the best and most intense bit of the triology.
