Dave Barry isn't actually criticizing the film--he pokes fun at everything, including himself! He is a hilarious humourist in my opinion. Try reading Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need....

For me, three times is enough. I love the movies a great deal, but I would prefer to see new things in the movies after I see each one of them three times. In my opinion, three times in the theatres...

I can't say I agree--Eowyn seems to me to be much colder than Arwen, because Eowyn is distraught about her King not allowing her to fight, and she misbehaves a fair bit in the book, and is...
