Which Movie was best overall?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

I consider FOTR by far the best, and closest adaptation
of PJ's three films. Especially smart was the prologue
(even better in the extended dvd). The Other two had
moments but there were exasperating digressions/
alterations/mistakes. For example, the warping of Faramir
and Denethor, the inexplicable reshrinking of Merry and
Pippin in ROTK after they grew in TTT, the overuse of the green
slime [Army of the Dead], and, to my mind, the bungling
of the charge of the Rohirrim, which, like the book,
should have begun in relative darkness, then had a
weather change and the sun coming out onto Theoden and
his shield and horse. And Eowyn's battle with the Witchking
and her speech was just too truncated.
My overall grades were:
FOTR--- A-
TTT--- C+
ROTK--- B-

But, frankly, PJ did much better then I had expected.


Oh, yeah, and the Easter Eggs in FOTR and TTT were hilarious,
not so much for ROTK.
