A Solid Film, but very overrated

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2005)

This is probably the best sequel made in recent years, but in my mind does not measure up to another American blockbuster, star wars. It does not rival the quality of Return of the Jedi. And this movie rated third all time? Absolute blaspheme. The novels were designed to tell the story about corruption and power, yet the movie deserts to extravagant special effects and goes completely against the message of the movie. It extends approximately an hour longer than it has to, without proper cuts being made. The end half-hour seems to whimsical, using the same technique of cutting to a whimsical look over and over, making it boring and pointless. I got tired at the end, I didn't care anymore. Don't get me wrong, this movie is by no means bad, it should be held in high esteem, but top 100 all time, that a push, top 10, absolute bull. I cannot believe enough ignorant people gave this movie a ten.
