Beautiful sets, but don't believe the hype!

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2005)

Yes the movie is OK, but for the love of PETE, is it the 12th best movie of all time!!! Come on now. Quit letting your kids vote on this website!! The actors play their roles well, the characters are all interesting and believable. I unfortunately have not been able to find time to read the entire book, but from the feed back i received from friends of mine it was done quite well. I have read, and viewed many interviews with Peter Jackson and other people involved with the computer graphics and was quite impressed with their end product. It's a wonderful fantasy movie that does a fairly good job at keeping you involved for the entire 3 hours. The main thing that gets my goat, if your taking the time to read this, is that I love this website, it's great for researching movies and finding some of those movies that you have never heard of but give it a go because of the rating it received on this website. So with that being said, if you've made it this far, Lord of the Rings, is a solid 6.5, nothing more, nothing less. My awful rating was simply given to hopefully help bring the movie down a notch into it's rightful place!! ta ta for now
