Booooooooring

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2001)

I have never read any of the books, and this movie definatly did not make me want to. The scenery is great, but there was nothing else in the movie. The quittage match everyone is raving about was utterly pointless. It in no way developed the storyline. Actually, nothing developed the story until about two hours into the film. What's with the quittage match anyhow? Why do you get points for something that automatically makes you win the game?? Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman at least give something to watch. They both delivered great performances. Too bad they didn't have much to work with. Had this movie been cut to about an hour and a half it might have been tolerable. But as it is, there is too much wandering around for no apparent reason. How children can sit through this is beyond me. For fantasy movies, give me Lord of the Rings. At least I know there will be something in that one. And lastly, anybody know why John Cleese got top billing in the credits????
