not all that

Rating: 2/10 (10 June 2002)

I cannot believe all the gleaming reviews here. #3 movie of all time? I saw this 6 months after release because of all the hype. Bad idea. The effects are great but that's about all there is. I found myself looking at my watch every 15 minutes. By the second hour I was thinking why don't they just go to maldor and throw the ring in the fire so I can leave. It's way too long. And then to end the movie with a trailer for part 2?? That's just an insult to the audience. I thought this would be a good movie but it's just typical over-produced hollywood fare.
