One little problem.

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2002)

I have only seen the movie once so far and it definitely needs/deserves to be seen one more time before I can totally judge it. But otherwise, TTT was everything that I expected it to be - which is that it's no better or worse than FOTR...It's just different. It definitely has a more epic feel to it, which is it's both strenght and a weakness - Peter Jackson just had to do so much that he sometimes forgot to perfection little things. I'm not going to dig myself into detail just yet (I need another viewing, other people will do that better anyway and my English stinks), but before I go I just wanted to point out one little thing:
For every breathtaking pixel near-perfection that is Gollum ,there's outrageously horrible blue-screen work involving Merry/Pippin on top of Treebeard. I don't know what went wrong, but, WETA Digital, I know that you can do a lot better than that. It really put me off and all of a sudden I realized that I was sitting in the theater next to all these weird people.

Otherwise, thank you again, Peter Jackson and co. for reminding me once again why I love cinema so much. And I meant it in a good way :)
