The "giant molten gold dwarf" weapon, thing, whatever, was just about the stupidest idea i've ever seen put on film.
And I agree that Jackson has gone Lucas-levels of insane with the CGI. It's a trend. Movies are increasingly absurd/unrealistic across the board. I can suspend belief, but only so far. Please don't make me start disbelieving obvious laws of physics.
