8 out of 10

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2004)

This was the worst movie of the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, it was still a good movie, but there were some cornball lines, too predictable plot points (even if you haven't read the books), and I felt that the ending was too dragged out. The action sequences were definitely one of the best offered up by Hollywood though. Still, all that action cannot match the magic in the first movie. 8 out of 10.
