Truly one of the worst (well mostly overrated) films of all time

Rating: 2/10 (2 June 2002)

When I went to see The Lord of the Rings: FOTR, the trailers no doubt looked interesting. When I saw the movie, I got a totally crap fest of a movie that wasn't even as good as the trailer. My reasons for hating are: 1. Why don't they just go to Mount whatever and destroy the Ring, instead of just blabbing about it how it takes over your mind. 2. What the heck was with that Gadriel character. First off she is blabbing nonsense about the smallest person can change and blah, blah, blah. Oh give me a break like I haven't heard that before. And please for the sequels turn off those lights of hers. Those 200+ watts in her almost made me blind. 3. The dialogue is cheezy okay. People I liked Star Wars II. I admit some of the diaglogue was crapy. But so was this. No one I don't care what frickkin Earth you live on, if your wizard, hobbit, mortal, etc No one ever says those lines like "If you want him come and claim him" Ohh how breathtaking. 4. The acting. Don't get me started. The really one good, no GREAT person in this movie was Christopher Lee. He should've gotten the nod for best supporting actor not McKellan. Not to mention Wood's acting (thats how I can describe his acting, stiff as wood) and Astin (he must've taken lessons from Shatner for crying out loud) 5. The EFX were not amazing. The backround was but the EFX :cough: Gollum. As for the movie being overrated it that is a fact. Any movie that is not even out for year is put over movies that deserved their places like A Clockwork Orange, 2001, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc etc does not even deserve to be placed there. Also the actors are overrated (Wood, Astin and Bloom will never rank up to actors like Bruce Campbell, Harrison Ford and Ewan Mcgregor in a million light years) as well as the director (Jackson will never rank up to Kubrick, Spielberg, Raimi, etc in a 100000000+ million light years). I had put up another comment for this which was more praise but after thinking about I couldn't come to terms with this movie. I will no doubt see and hope the sequels are better (please be better dialoge, acting, and PLEASE NO MORE GADIREL)
2/10 (Christopher Lee saved this craptacular movie by a LOT)
