Bad Dialog, Awful Screenplay Adaptation, Ok battle, Gollum is great, better than the first but ultimately not worth the time

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2003)

Some of the hokey dialog and acting was painful to sit through. Gollum was the best part, and the best actor. The screenplay departs from the book so extremely that it is near unrecognizable as the same story. Even the big battle scene failed to redeem this movie. If I could I would reclaim the three hours that I wasted on this one. At least it was better than the first.
