Amazing cinematography but very boring

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2003)

From a technical standpoint this is a superb movie. That said it's easily the most over-rated one of all time. About half way through I checked my watch for the first time and could not stop myself from doing it again every 5 minutes. There was far too much prancing around the forest with nothing happening. The thought of there being 2 more films like this to follow is frightening. Cut the play time in half and I would imagine it would be considerably better.
