Why?! What were they thinking?

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2002)

It's as if the two movies were written by different people. I don't have a problem with taking liberties with the book, but these insertions and changes of character make no sense at all. And why trade great dialogue for mediocre? Were the writers that conceited that they couldn't resist putting more of their own work into this movie? The problems with TT have only to do with the writing. It really makes no sense. FOTR was near perfect; what a disappointment TT is.
