Stupid and too long for its own good.

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2003)

Three and a half hours later I was thinking, "they could have cut the last hour."
The last half hour alone drags on forever and ever, and you just want Sam to smack Frodo and tell him to leave.
Plus they incorporate the books into the storyline. Tolkien did, at least, and I think that's stupid. I know that's going out on a limb, criticizing classic literature, but it's stupid.
Jackson is a bad director. Visuals of Sam and Frodo always seem a bit off, and everything anyone says is said at the wrong time. Yeah.
You'll see this movie no matter what, though, just like I did. The second one was the best.
