could they drag out that ending any longer?????

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2003)

That ending was the worst! It dragged on forever and reminded me of one of those chick flicks looking for you to wipe a tear from the corner of your eye... c'mon! The fight scenes are too long and take away from the story and they interject the oddest scenes fraught with melodrama but no real good acting!! *case in point... that scene with Gandalf and Pippin are having this heartfelt moment, with impending doom on the other side of the door -- its so full of over acting and forced emotions* I am stuck going ???? what was that all about? In general I would have to say these movies are riding on the notoriety of the books and just the grand manner in which they were produced... because the acting surely wasn't going to win them any awards!
