went and saw the new Lord Of the Rings movie last night.
Shrug. Was a lot like the first one, but even more boring.
The soudtrack/score was still appalling bad and distracting.
Basically 3 hours of variations on “oh no, he’s dead. wait, not
dead yet…” and “the ring is making me do bad things. Yeah, that
sucks.” crossed with a travel ad for New Zealand.
The stupid skateboarding and dwarf tossing references were
well, stupid. And pretty much any time they showed the
dwarf it was poor attempt at comedic relief.
It seemed like every battle/fight seen had a section where
characters stood around and casually talked to each other for
five or ten minutes while the rest of the battle must of been
taking a smoke break.
The scenes with the two pointless hobbits riding on the tree
from H.R. Puffinstuff screemed “look, bluescreen effect!” to
the point of being distracting.
I’ve still havent figured out exactly why or how the big climatic
battle seen ended. It was just kind of suddenly over.
