Too much clanging!

Rating: 4/10 (21 January 2003)

Having read the books twice, and having enjoyed the first movie "Fellowship of the Ring" quite a bit, this one disappointed me. Too much emphasis on fight scenes and the crash and clash of swords, and some very needless (and not beneficial in my opinion) departure from Tolkien's original story lines. I did enjoy Gimli's humor, though!
