Bring consistency to Fantasy

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2002)

What its the deal about this movie? and what was the amazing thing about the world Tolkien had created !? I had heard so much stuff about it... he created different worlds and even invented languages for different races.

BUT IF HIS CREATIONS ARE SO AMAZING WHY CAN T THEY EVEN BE CONSISTENT!
They travel through various lands with various climates and landscapes in a few days??? PLEASE it would take more than days to travel through California or a country like say France, and you wouldn t encounter such differences. But sure its fantasy so lets not go any further...
He invented languages for different races. WHAT??? It is not as if white, black, asian speak different languages. Humans can t even agree on a common language should you choose to see it as species instead. So why did Tolkien bother inventing it...
Again, its fantasy... maybe I shouldn t complain about these things! WHY? even if it is fantasy I argue that it still is possible to make a consistent world with a consistent story ! If its not consistent there is no point in thinking while you watch. Since anything can happen there is no point in trying to understand the plot or anticipate future troubles etc - the MEGA magician Gandalf can t even fly away to safety. So everything the movie has to offer is special efx and a poor storyline... and really not impressive acting!
WAKE UP ! I don t care if you loved the book as kids... this is the movie based on the book and it was really bad.
