You've Got To Be Kidding Me!!

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2002)

For the love of God, do NOT go see this movie in the theater. I was ready to walk out after the first hour. Every scene could be predicted and it seems nobody wanted to kill off any of the characters, despite the fact that none of them had been developed worth a damn. When Gandolf (wizard) "died," I was actually happy. I figured the more deaths, the closer we would be to ending this boring excuse for a movie.
This was quite possibly the worst piece of cenimatic crap I have ever seen - and I saw Freddy Got Fingered! In fact, I dozed off twice and had to be shaken by my fiance, who was also fighting the desire the get the hell out of the theater as soon as possible.
About the ending: The makers of this movie could learn a thing or two from George Lucas about how to construct a trilogy. This weak-ass "cliffhanger" guaranteed one thing - I will NOT be back for the sequels.
I recently read "The No Spin Zone" by Bill O'Reilly and in it, he discussed the dumbing down of the television-viewing public. That so many brainwashed automatons think this is a five star work of art has me fearful of our future as an supoosedly-advanced civilization. I pray for us all.
