Giant elephants with spiked tusks! Giant spiders with pointy things set on stun. Giant eagles. Awesome awesome awesome.
There’s, like, three too many battle scenes though. Who can take all these battles? And how is it that in the middle of the battle Gandalf has time to go in the Citadel and settle family scores (with bearded humans that are impossible to tell apart) and yet the battle still rages on outside?
I do respect any movie that has five distinct endings and a silent montage of giggly halflings flopping around in bed together (as Ian McKellan smiles and leers in the b.g.)
