What a lack of subtlety in the massive ending

Rating: 5/10 (15 February 2004)

I was a huge fan of the LotR books, and also of the LotR films 1 and 2. But in part 3 Peter Jacksons old hobbies shine through the fabric of the film much to clearly. After the action is ended, the audience is washed away in at least half an hour of ever increasing emotional (tear jerking) scenes, that - because they are pilled up this way irritate instead of emotionate. A total lack of subtlety, or respect for the audience for that matter. Quite a disappointment after the a beautiful beginning in part 1 and 2.
