Most boring film ever made

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2005)

Brief summary: Bunch of losers team together to chuck ring in mountain. Not impressed by the plot? Don't worry, the dialogue is equally dismal. There is nothing to recommend this film.
The makers of this film should be congratulated for being so faithful to the book. The book was boring and about a thousand pages to long. Accordingly they decided to make the film boring and merely three and a half hours too long. What a stupid story. Acting was pathetic.
What disturbed me particularly about this film is that I get the distinct impression that people (actors, directors, audiences etc.) actually take it seriously. This film seems to have made it socially acceptable for otherwise sane people to admit in public that they have an interest in orcs, goblins, wizards etc. Previuosly this kind of thing was restricted to geeks scuttling home from games workshop to get back in time for star trek. Now loads of people claim to like this stupid book/film. Possibly, they think it has a hidden message particularly in these 'post 9/11 days'. It doesn't.
PS. If I were a dwarf, I would be very insulted by the suggestion just because I am small, I have to live underground and be Scottish.
