Has not aged well

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 2018)

I just watched the scene where Aragorn throws a torch, spinning in the air, into a Nazgul. These movies looked and sounded really good when they came out, but it just looks so bad now.
Some of the acting is great, though. Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee do a great job portraying their characters, but even their scenes feel clunky and funny. Elijah Wood and Sean Astin are annoying as always. It's somewhat entertaining to witness the unintentional silliness of the conversations.
The main problem, though, is that every character feel so empty. If this movie was an original story and the story had never existed before this, I wouldn't understand anything what's happening. I can't sink myself into this movie anymore. It feels like Transformers but without the butt jokes.
Soundtrack is awesome, though.
