Movie disappointing and over hyped

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2001)

We have waited a long time for this and what a disappointment. This movie has been over hyped. It is too long, the characters are unsympathetic, the dialogue is childish and the special effects not as remarkable as we were lead to believe they would be. On the plus side, the scenery is wonderful, and Jackson hits the mark with some action scenes. Be warned - this is not a film for children either. Don't believe the hype, it is waste of time and money.
