Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (26 November 2007)

Really Disappointing, It Started well and given the 2 movies before it, it should have been a solid ending to a fairly successful trilogy which would have been (i imagine) very hard to make. The Special effects and Fight scenes are great and the acting is sound on the whole (elijah wood's screaming does get a bit annoying sometimes, but he looks the part so all is forgiven). The End is ABSOLUTELY horrendous... nowhere near the book which offers the 'soldiers returning from war to find that it can never be the same' and instead serves up a mushy pathetic 'its all OK we are back and everything is great' attitude. It really ruined the movie for me and it saddens me because it could have been a great trilogy but instead its a good trilogy. There were also some weak moments such as Theoden's speech to Eowyn at the end after she kills the Nazgul bloke... a bit weak.... a Shame
