Critc's Masterpiece... Average Man's Trash

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2001)

I consider my self an average person with average tastes. but I found this movie to be terrible. I don't now what the critics see in yet. I mean, yes, the scenery is ok (If you like watching green mountains) and yes, there are some good action sequences. But does it really take three hours to tell the story of a Hobbit trying to find the magic place to throw an all-powerful ring into? Apparently, the director needs a longer time to tell the story of this search because he has two more movies (and six more hours) coming out to continue the saga. I don't know what else to say. I sat there from beginning to end watching:
a) the origin of the ring. b) little hobbits running around with the ring. c) little hobbits running away from demons who want the ring. d) seeing people telling the little hobbits that the ring is very powerful (Like it takes 90 mins. to figure that out.) e) And in the second half of the movie - We see the Fellowship of the Ring's journey to rid the world of the ring - And they can't accomplish that goal by the end of this movie!!!
The character's accents are annoying, many characters are not pleasant to look at and I'm still I'm still figuring out what Liv Tyler's cameo appearance in the movie was all about. This movie is terrible, a waste of time and has a very disappointing ending. Maybe I'm crazy - but if you feel the same as I do - Please vote and destroy the reputation this movie currently has. It does not deserve all the praises it's been getting and it certainly does not deserve IMDB's #1 slot.
