TTT is my least favorite of the trilogy, mainly because i'm in the minority of people who think that gollum, well, sucks (this is one of the reasons why FotR is my favorite: almost no gollum). sure, technically he's well done and serkis does an awesome job playing him, but the dual personality is only interesting for so long (namely not long at all). i was about to throw up after the 86th "WE'VE GOT TO GET THE PRECIOUS" scene. this is a problem in RotK as well, but that movie is not as gollum-heavy and i do think the gollum scenes in it are more interesting.

also, gimli, who was an honorable dwarf prince in FotR, is utterly ruined in TTT. it seems like every time he was on-screen in this one he had to provide some pathetic attempt at comic relief. "NOT THE BEARD!" "TOSS ME!" "PEOPLE THINK THERE'S NO DWARF WOMEN LOL!" the list goes on and on. what the fuck was jackson thinking? wasn't there already enough of this kind of thing with merry and pippin's "humor"?

the battle of helm's deep is amazing, though. no argument there. and i agree that the multiple endings of RotK drag on too long. but all three LotR movies are extremely long so it seems weird to single out RotK for this.

overall, i definitely prefer RotK to TTT.
