I kinda felt that way about the first one, but really I think that these are the best the movies could be. Tolkein's work is so original and complex that no one will ever be able to capture what it is like to truely get into his work on film, even if you had a 20 hour miniseries. Tolkein was a poet and word smith. He was a linguist. His stuff just wouldn't work if you translated it verbatum to film. The magic of his voice still wouldn't be there. Just enjoy the film for what it is...an adaptation of a great story.

BTW is the competition over yet?
