Why LOTR Sucks: The Really Extended Version

I just watched another 12 minutes and it was nearly inextinguishable from the previous 10. A lot of unlikely action on the battlefield, including people shouting to each other from a hundred yards away. Haldir was killed and in the greatest example of restraint Peter Jackson has ever shown, there wasn’t any crying (though he did die in slow motion). Merry yelled at the Ents. Gimli gets thrown across a chasm. Aragorn is every where at once.

We did get two very brief scenes with Frodo and Faramir the Dick. Add two more slow motion close-ups of somebody crying to the total.

Minutes Watched: 2.3:08.17

Number of Montages: 12

Number of slow motion close-ups of people crying: 45
