“That it falls a little shy of greatness is perhaps inevitable. The story is just a little too silly to carry the emotional weight of a masterpiece.”
How can Ebert call it silly? Did he see the march of the Ents? That was wicked cool. But at least he gives it 3.5 stars. Others aren’t being shy in handing out top marks. I have not seen it yet, but will go ahead and give it 4 stars.
