Good end, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2003)

I've just seen this movie and I feel a bit disappointed that I'm not that much excited that I want to be. The beginning of the movie is very good with the review of Gollum. It makes you understand more why he has become what he is. The battle of Gondor is the highlight of the movie but it gets destroyed of an army of undead immortal troops that I can't remember from the book. All the excitement is gone when the good side suddenly have an army you can't kill. The spiderscene never gives you the scaring feeling you want. It was done much better in Harry Potter actually. Some mediocre acting skills mixed with some goods ones. Sean Austin was very good while Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen have more to prove. The ending feels a bit too long and leaves some things out. For example the faith of Gimli and Legolas.
7/10
