Stolen from slashdot:
Elijah Wood will switch between his two vastly different facial expressions (wide-eyed shock and wide-eyed fear), Gimli (too lazy to find out how the actor's name is spelled) will endure three hours of short jokes, Liv Tyler will stand still and move her lips to dialogue generated by a totally unconvincing speech synthesizer, and the entire thing will reach a climax of sorts with a CGI-overloaded battle scene filled with lots of quick cutting and handheld camerawork so you'll know it's edgy and modern while at the same time making it next to impossible to determine exactly where the combatants are in relation to one another. THE FILMMAKING ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM!!!!!!! The New Zealand Tourist Commission sure got their money's worth.
