Frankly, though I am still awe-struck by the sheer scale of this movie, and the mind-blowing special effects, I found the ending rather... how do I put it... limp. It had lost some of the Peter Jackson magic, starting out strong, but getting flacid at the end. Perhaps John Woo would have been a good consultant to help with the final scenes, because they just stole the energy out of the rest of the film.
Now, before you start raising a lynch mob, I want to say that I am still proud to call (NZ - Middle Earth) home, and still highly impressed with this film. I just feel it was a bit of a wet noodle in the final 20 minutes. The previous 3 hours were still totally awesome.
Overall, I would have to rate this one of the movies that I will add to my collection, but wouldn't pay full-price to see again unless it was as part of some special event or occasion.

The beautiful, enigmatic and brilliant scientist, Dr. Helen Magnus, has the spectacular proof that the frightening beings that we dismiss as figments of our imagination are indeed real. With her new recruit, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, her fearless daughter Ashley and quirky tech-whiz Henry, Magnus uses a unique combination of instinct, medicine and cutting edge technology to protect, and study, the clandestine population of strange and sometimes terrifying beings, known as abnormals, which hides among humans.
There are monsters loose in the world. And they are the key to the future of our race.
