The first movie was definitely gorgeous! The second one... ugh, that scene when they attacked the castle and they had to retreat and left some of the warriors behind for them to die has forever tainted my soul :( :( :( Plus the whole Two Towers feel of the ending... yeah, not a fan of the second one.

Probably. It's tiring to hear/read him say 'My Precioussssss' over and over again :P
