FotR was great but my problem was that it was really really choppy, in my opinion, so don't start attacking me guys. I mean...one moment you have Legolas riding into Rivendell and the next you're at the Council of Elrond and Lothlorien was basically just chopped in pieces, well I'll shut up, my opinion.

Alright, nobody kill me or anything, but I thought RotK was choppier than FotR - music-wise and scene-wise. It didn't seem the have the flow of the other movies. Truthfully, RotK wasn't my favorite. I'm a huge Tolkien fan, but the ending of RotK just didn't impact me enough. Perhaps it was how the movie ended up dragging out and irritating even the most hardened of Tolkien fans - I don't know. The part where Frodo leaves Middle Earth should've had more...'umph.' And I'm also sort of miffed that they left out 'Sharkey,' where Saruman really shined.
Alright, I'll leave 😗

Well I can understand about the ending how it seemed to drag because the first time I saw it I thought the same but it grew on me as I watched it 2 more times, it's actually eccential to the plot. Sharkey? Sharkey? Is that the scouring of the Shire?
Because if it is I agree that it was left out because you can't really have the climax of Mount Doom and then suddenly the scouring of the Shire. It's really anti-climatic.

Eh, I suppose you're right. It would've dragged it out more. However, when reading the book, after the scouring of the Shire, Frodo's lines, "We set out to save the Shire, Sam. It has been saved, but not for me" had a lot more impact.
A couple people I know think they should've just ended the movie after the Mount Doom scene. It would've left a lot of loose ends, but it would have had a lot more impact. Oh and don't sue me if the lines above weren't accurate. I have a tummyache.
