I reckon it was a must see twice film as so much was going on. The only real crap bits for me were the Treebeard ones where Merry and Pippin looked like cut-outs with the scenery in the background badly matching with the characters in the foreground.

Gollum was absolutely incredible. The characters actually interacted with him a lot. Jar, Jar in star wars was nowhere near as good or as cleverly done.

The Massive engine was awesome too. Helms Deep was one of the best battle scenes ever!

I agree about Legolas and the shield skater bit though - that bit was stupid.

What a great advert for Maya and Shake Massive!!
