Not The Great Film That Folks Make It Out To Be

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2002)

"Lord of The Rings" is an enjoyable film, but it's not the great film that folks make it out to be. For the most part, the film is way too long and, at times, it's drawn out. The special effects are a bit too much.
What makes the film watchable is the beautiful photography, and the solid performances from a first rate cast. This is the first film of a trilogy, and I suspect that the best is yet to come.
