TT: A little Short

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2002)

The film was a great work until the last 5 min. when it decided to take a liberal view of the work and left me confused and unsatisfied. Don't get me wrong, I will see this movie several times and by the DVD, Treebeard is wonderful, however, 130 pages of the end of the book are gone.
Gone is Gandalph and the boys at Isengard Gone is Frodo and Sams fight with Shelob
Now these will appear in the next movie because they are major points in the book but they are from this story, not "Return of the King"
The end of the book is one of the greatest cliffhangers in literature and we don't get to see it.
Cut out those long shots and shots of women and children crying and there should be enough time to fit it in a 3 hour movie.
