Oh Puh-leeze.......

Yes, it was pretty. Yes, I've read ALL the JRR stuff. I'm 51 years old and all the books were required reading for my set. But by the time the 90 minute mark had arrived, I either needed to get a pillow or get up and go browse Home Depot. Home Depot won.
Hard to understand much of the dialog, but THAT in itself was not the problem. In fact, I'm not quite sure what the problem was. But I was BORED TO TEARS.
The acting was grand, to be sure. New Zealand was spectacular. Liv Tyler is a looker. Incredible details on the sets. I give up.
What a yawner. I predict VERY LITTLE Academy recognition.
I apologize to all of you "junkies."
