2.5
2.5 stars mostly because the writing is so unengaging. Plus, it's racist and sexist, as can be expected of its time. The rating would have been lower if not for Andy Serkis, he's that good of a narrator.

I love Sam and Frodo and how their relationship continues to develop as well as Legolas and Gimli. Mary and Pippin have a bigger role in this book and they do a fabulous job.
