that makes no sense at all. Ok Roeper. Yes it was long. But didn't you friggn enjoy the costumes and sets?

If Roeper likes the last 2, then he should like this one

@William J.
I know, I could understand thinking this one isn't as good as the last two, but to not like it but to enjoy what comes next is difficult for me to understand.

I LOVE the 3rd one, the 2nd one is okay still good though, and I also love the 1st one the extended version is best.

May 29 - 07:20 AM

Oh please give me a break!!

Jul 25 - 10:18 AM

Paul Fairbrother

Wrong. As usual.

Jul 31 - 06:58 AM

Yup, this critic is a freaking laughing stock. Any "top critic" that gives this film below a 90% is a fraud.

oh grow up

Vanessa Valentino

Blasphemy!

Aug 15 - 12:43 PM

You have the attention span of a goldfish! Your taste in movies is terrible.

Aug 28 - 02:41 AM

2 hours 45 min., how is that forever?

Aug 28 - 11:43 PM

More like 3 hours and 22 minutes.

Jul 25 - 02:09 PM

Samuel Palacios

How can you call yourself a movie critic when say that LotR goes on forever?

Sep 23 - 09:43 AM

and this guy is a top critic?

Sep 24 - 05:51 PM

Peter Jackson only wanted to do the book justice.

Sep 30 - 07:11 PM

William Farrelly

Even though it all forms one story I still hold that Fellowship is the best of the three.

Nov 16 - 03:34 PM

agreed!

Jul 15 - 10:47 PM

I usually like Roeper but he f*cked up here.

Dec 7 - 03:00 PM

Sarfaraz Abbasi

Did he want an end in the first film. Ebert should kick this shit out of series!!!
