Special effects do not make a great movie

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2002)

I admit that the special effects were very well done and some of the scenery was breath taking. But that definitely does NOT make a great movie.
I don't even consider this a good movie. I really had to struggle to stay awake during those three hours of tiring story telling. No suspense, no surprises, no real character development.
By trying to put as many characters and events into one movie, everything stayed at a highly superficial level. The result is a very poor, confusing, and boring story.
