Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2002)

This movie was very well made and had great acting. However, the story loses most of its charm for those of us who havn't read the book. The plot was not gripping and the three hours seemed drawn out. Not enough background history and a shoddy ending makes this movie much less complete. Im sure that this is true to the book, but the movie lacks the storyline to stand alone in theaters. I think it was way overhyped and overrated and in no way deserves to be the best movie of all time at imdb.
