Better than Harry Potter but.....

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2002)

...the end was very disappointing. Why director Peter Jackson cut brutally the end without giving us an answer what the hell finally happened to the ring and the people? There I am to watch with my wife for nearly three hours an entertaining film but at the end we said no that cannot be possible. One year is too long to wait for the second part and I assure you that for all this reasons I will not see the second one. I have to admit that the special effects were super and the story better than Harry Potter because this movie has more adventures. The music remembered me to Titanic and Terminator and that's too pity for such a blockbuster. I liked very much the horse scenes (don't miss "SLEEPY HOLLOW") and the nice pictures from New Zealand.
I recommend to rent it before you buy it. I think this film is too long and too overrated. I give maximum 5/10.
