Three hours of boredom.

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2001)

After seeing the incredible rating on 'IMDB', I expected to be amazed by the superiour cast, spectacular special effects and the $520 million+ that went into this production. I always disliked fantasy, but expected this movie to be a major turning point in my hate for all things magical.
Unfortunately, I wanted to get out of the cinema half an hour from the start. Minutes seemed to last for hours as the tedious plot unfolded and the only thing worth staying for was the soundtrack. I am not discouraging anyone from seeing this, especially if you love fantasy and the Lord of the Rings books. (I couldn't get past the second page of the Hobbit, as I found it too 'magical'.)
