fun to watch, nothing to take away.

Rating: 1/10 (27 March 2007)

Let me first say that I had a blast watching this movie. The battles were fun, and it was a great time. But that's it. It was like watching wrestling (if I liked wrestling). There was absolutely nothing to take away from it. Sin City did the whole graphic novel thing much, much better and Peter Jackson owns, OWNS digital cinematography. 300 has nothing on the LOTR trilogy (and I am really not a big fan of the films, but I think that they are very well made).
The acting is sub-par and the film does drag on a bit. Like I said, it was a fun time at the movies, but when I left, I never gave it a second thought. These people who are calling it an instant classic? No way. Sorry, it just didn't bring enough to the table.
