The second movie was about 90% filler. I found it exceedingly tedious.

I couldn’t decide who the second movie insulted more: the viewer, or JRR Tolkien. Without hyperbole: the biggest wasted opportunity in the history of movie making. Could have been phenomenal, instead it was silly garbage that completely ignored everything that made Tolkien a master.

Peter Jackson thinks he is better at creating a compelling story than Tolkien is (since he pretty much ignored the book when creating the movie). He is very, very wrong.

It blew chunks and had almost nothing in common with the book.
