big dissapointment

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2003)

as you've read in other reviews, there's alot of things left out or changed from the books and that sucked, but i'll skip that.
this movie was like sitting through freshman english - for 2 1/2 hours.
instead of the terrific character development like the first film, we get a long ass war scene, an elf "tony hawking" down the stairs and dwarf jokes. what the hell? was this thing directed by vince mcmahon?
i was just so suprised to see a shroud of dumb thrown over the whole thing.
gollum was okay - not nearly evil enough, way to cute.
aside from the isengard scene at the end, i don't ever need to see this piece of crap again.
i realize that this is an unpopular opinion - maybe i drunkenly stumbled into "two weeks notice" by mistake.
