Boring

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2005)

When books are transmitted to movie format, I can handle inconsistencies. But as a movie alone Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings cannot stand on its own. There are a couple of parts that you can't understand without reading the book. But looking past the inconsistencies is the outstanding trait of this just being a boring movie. Very little action, long dialog and dreary setting makes The Fellowship a bore. Beyond the production is (in regards to my own personal affections) a lack of enjoyable characters. I find that if I don't like the characters, I can't like the movie in question. Every one of persona annoyed me. How can you like a movie if the characters fall short of whatever story you're trying to tell? Though the acting was admirable, I'll give it that, Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring still can't make up for a lack of character and progression (action). Altogether boring, it makes a one star in my books.
