I liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so I was expecting good things from this production. Perhaps that was the problem. The earlier series condensed three long books down to three long movies. This one takes the opposite approach, starting with one shorter book and expanding it to an epic trilogy. The result features a fair amount of filler, much of which doesn’t work (especially the Brown Wizard nonsense). However, the parts that stick to the main story are as entertaining as Peter Jackson’s previous trips to Middle Earth. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
