[Mac the Janitor]

The movies were alright, but there are many, many other movies that I think were much much better.

The movies are just too damn long. There were a few good parts, but the longness was torture. I really can't see why everybody says it's the best movie ever.

Shmeegull was the best part of the second one. He is a perfect round character, with his personality and the inner conflict and all. If the second movie was just about Frodo, Sam and Shmeegull, then I would have liked it much more. Every other character just talks about useless stuff for too damn long.

I haven't read the books.
