About as boring as the book

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 2001)

I've always found Tolkien to be Valium in print, and his LOTR series excruciatingly boring. I went to see the film because I was dragged to it, but I had a vague hope that it would be somewhat less boring than the books. Not so. It's mind-numbingly dull and far too long.
