I just do not understand why this film is rated so highly

Rating: 1/10 (26 January 2002)

I just dont get it, I think that film reviewers must live on a different planet to me, how can they get so excited by a bunch of elves wizards and hobbits running around shooting bows and arrows - I just did not care what happened to them. Most reviewers rate this film as wonderful, whereas a truly gripping exciting film such as Vertical Limit (where I really did care about the characters) they rate as rubbish - I really don't understand how anyone above 5 years old can get so taken in by this fantastical nonsense.
