CALM DOWN FRODO ANORAKS

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 2002)

So the normal IMDb discerning voters make this the best film of all time? Well they really need to go and have a lie down in a dark room. How on earth will they be able to cope, because it's 12 months until the next instalment of the Middle Earth adventures.
This is not the "Citizen Kane" or "Vertigo" of the 21st century. It's a very good adventure film, and an excellent advert for a holiday in New Zealand. To me it's much more of a video game, than a narrative. Unless you've read the books, you learn nothing about any of the characters. Probably better than Potter, but it's not even one of the top 10 films of 2001.
