Total waste of 3hr and money

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2002)

I have yet to understand how people can praise this movie. I went with other 3 persons and we got so bored that two of them seating in front row kept paging us and get the hell out of theater. Visuals and special effects were good but story just didn't went anywhere. Characters were the weakest part of whole thing. It just went on and on without any apparent reason. The whole concept of few stupid dont-know-why-so-great morons running after a dont-know-why-so-great ring p***ed us off. When I told most people about these views, none were believing us because all of them found this movie so great. They told me that my views would be different if I'd read the book first. Who has the time to spend day on reading book to go see a movies?? I must note though that I found Harry Potter enjoyable and good enough even though I never read any of those books. But talk about a 3 hour movie with absolutely no logical ending for the first part - just people comes out of a boat and boom! dark screen! Go home people, there's no thing to see here! What a relief.
