The effects were amazing...and the epic scope and all that...should win Best Picture to pay homage to the entire series.
BUT...reading the book shouldn't be a prerequisite to understanding the movie (I've already invested enough time following this story...plus I'm illiterate)...
The movie was extremely corney in parts...the dialogue, that king chomping on that damn tomato whilst Merry sings to him, etc.
I'm SO tired of main characters being invincible! 60,000 orcs v. a handful of good guys...clearly the good guys will survive without a scratch....especially when they have the convenience of a massive ghost army and giant EAGLES coming to their rescue at the perfect moments. Not to mention one poorly-placed slash of their swords easily takes down armor-laden enemies!
And, yes...too many endings.
Other than that...it's was splendid!
