melodramatic rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2002)

I was so disappointed with the screen adaptation of one of the greatest stories ever written. I was eager when I went into the cinema and dejected as I left the film was almost painful to watch with cheesy acting from Sean Bean and Elijah Wood at times. If you want to see a good film about fantasy and a good book adaptation then you'll do well to avoid this tripe.
