good in the beginning, boring in the end

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2001)

Spoilerwarning
Hyped by the high score on imdb I went to see the movie with great hopes, but came out disappointed. I have to admit that it came true the first 90 minutes. After that it became an ordinary movie with fights, runaways, fights, runaways, etc. Even the graphics couldn´t make me really enthousiastic. Rocks with the height of a big house falling down cause more dust than was seen in the scene when Gandalf died. I think. But my biggest complaint is that I just didn´t like the story. For me it was a boring film and I will not go and see the other two parts nor read the book.
