Not Epic, Just Boring

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2002)

This was not the great fantasy film (the honor still belongs to Star Wars), nor was it that enthralling of a movie. The plot, while not hard to follow, was just boring. The direction was nothing special, just the same angles and movements I've seen a thousand times before. The cast merely worked, with the only real exception being...no one actually. Another thing that bothers me is it's place at number 1 on the IMDb chart. You may think it's an excellent movie, but is it really the best film of all time? What we have here are a bunch of 15 year olds, only having seen Star Wars and LotR, going and giving it a 10. Believe me, that number will go down in the following months. As far as films last year, Memento, Amélie and the Royal Tenenbaums were much better.
