long, boring, has no end

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2002)

I am not a film critic, and I don't like to comment on other people's works, because I am an artist myself, but I must comment on this one. As a child I always avoided comic books with "to be continued..." at the end. I also never liked watching TV series, because I had to wait for a week or two to find out what happens further. That is why I always loved films. A film is one complete entity, which has its beginning and its end. Sometimes even, there does not have to be an end, if no-end is the end of the film. Well, since this is not the case with this film, it is a complete crap. The fans of the books maybe find it interesting, but for the people who have never read the books it is a torture and complete waste of time. I sat for three hours in the theatre to find out that there is no end to the film. I have never been so disappointed in a film in my life. Also, I felt like an idiot, because I realised that the only reason they are making three films is to earn more money, because what I watched for three hours, could be told in an hour or less. I guess that will be the same case for the next sequels, so they could have put it all together in one good and entertaining fairy tale.
One last thought: Don't even try to compare this to Star Wars!
