When Lord of the Rings first came out, I must admit that I really loved all of them. But after watching this movie a second time through, it wasn't nearly as exciting. One thing that plagues Lord of the Rings movies is the slow stories. Lots of walking, lots of talking. But as all of the movies did, this one makes up for it with some exciting war scenes. All-in-all, if you haven't seen the movie before, you will enjoy it, but forget about watching it twice.
