Slow Paced Sequel With Talking Trees

Rating: 3/10 (15 October 2019)

In the first movie, the director runs the material. In the second movie, the material runs the director. Twenty minutes with the talking trees. Twenty minutes that feel like a lifetime. And meanwhile, my man Ugluk gets stiffed. In the book he's got style. An attitude like Paulie Walnuts. Even Grishnakh knows not to push him too far. In the movie, forget it. Stupid dialogue. "Meat's back on the menu, boys!" And Liv Tyler looks bored to death. Which is just how I felt watching the talking trees.
