Peter Jackson owes me five bucks!

Rating: 3/10 (13 January 2004)

This ponderous, disappointing conclusion to the Lord of the Rings needs to back to the edit room. The film moves along like director Peter Jackson had all of this film footage and couldn't decide what to do with it.
If I didn't know better, I'd think that the producers thought they had a built in audience for LOTR, so they didn't have to work very hard to finish the trilogy. Shame!
