Very Over-rated.

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2003)

This movie could have been real wonderful. Like the next Star War (Although technically it is, fan base and gross of money wise) The visuals were awesome as was the dialogue. But ultimately it was ruined by the horrible slow pacing (and this is coming from a guy who considers the films "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Citizen Kane" highly watchable) and bland, stoic acting. I really tried to like this film, but found myself bored. The Two Towers also suffers from pacing and acting, but is a much better film. Still somewhat of a bore though. I recommend reading the exuberant and prestigious books that are, like Don Quixote, are un-filmable.
