The most Bombastic episode of the Muppets show so far?

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 2003)

I can only give you my opinion, but it seems like it's going to drown amongst the superlatives others just wrote about this movie. I didn't find it that good. I like the books, but I see too many similarities with the special effects of the ones that are represented in the two latest Star Wars movies, which are completely made by computers. I don't like that. Nobody has realized that models combined with computer effects still can make the special effect look better and more real. There are a lot of impressive segments in the movie, BUT those are models or partially at least! Also, since the beginning of the franchise the character development has turned into a shallow action movie, which would be OK if it was as funny as Army of Darkness, but it's so obvious that this was meant to be the action movie and this is in fact not Army of Darkness. Who can take this movie seriously? It's on the verge of an overkill in the size of the one in the movie "Hero".
The only character which gets more vivid than ever is Gollum, who sounds and looks good, that is when he's sitting still. If you can't see that he is computer animated when he's moving with the two hobbits you should get new glasses right away, maybe in the size of Gollum's eyes. as in the last movie I like almost all the actors though. The war sequences are the best thing in the movie, but what the f**k, is that the most important thing? Then also the Ents are quite funny, probably the most Bombastic episode of the Muppets show so far?
I found this movie very entertaining, but far too much Hollywood. I like the limy Brits, but please, less bombastically delivered lines. All these Americans on New Zealand make feel like they'll stop by the 7 eleven or Burger King in the next part for a snack, cause that's what this movie is: fast food and instant entertainment. Nothing wrong in that, but with a couple of extra strokes with the brush it wouldn't be so obvious. 6/10
