My sister completely agrees. She has watched the first one..
Or.. half of it, and fell asleep.
Or so she claims. Meanwhile she has watched a movie like "The abyss" a few times, which is also 3ish hours long
The lotr movies to have their fair share of uninteresting scenes.. personally i hate all scenes with gollum. And the last time i watched the movies i skipped all the scenes with him.. he is annoying and takes up the whole scene with his annoying drunk-kermit voice. I hate it so much.
Everything else about the movies are great. And i appreciate the use of practical effects rather than shitty cgi
Pickup trucks are not "cars"
