unless you are contemplating its appearance in your bookshelf or lovingly caressing your copy of the book with your eyes in some other form.
Seriously, there is just too much nonsense in that movie, mostly but not exclusively in the battle scenes. And most of what isn't nonsense is sentimental, which isn't that great either. Two Towers and Fellowship of the Ring are much better.
I don't think anyone could have done a better job, though maybe the books could never be justly represented on screen. Still, the death of Haldir was too much.

Interesting - and rather appropriate, as I'm watching RotK.

Does it help if watching it didn't improve my opinion of it?

I mostly agree about the first two, but RotK just has too much silliness.

i'm of the opinion that there should not be "artistic license" taken with such a long-standing story
