Enya is pretty good if you ask me,

Enya is ALWAYS good.


but I agree about the overdramatization. Too many of the scenes lacked all sense of subtlety in the way movement was portrayed or in the way emotional reactions like pain or worry were portrayed. It's as if Jackson believes his audience is too stupid to recognize anything that isn't as obvious as he can make it (the Star Wars prequels were also this way).

So the virus is spreading then?


And I hate much of the combat filmwork. What's so spectacular about seeing nothing but a soldier's chest as the camera twists and we pretend he's being hurt by Sauron's giant mace?

Don't virtually all films today have this problem?
