The whole trilogy is terrible.

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2015)

To start, I'll mention I read the novels, many times. The novels are incredible, I've gotten lost in reading them, every time I've read them.
The movies, however, are incredibly dull and boring. The casting was amazing, the story could have been as good as the novels. The movies fall incredibly short compared to the books.
They're ridiculous loop holes throughout the movies, which for some reason stand out more than any part of the story, making the whole trilogy, which is about magic and mystical creatures, extremely unbelievable. It's sad the story is the most unbelievable part of these movies, considering the premise.
I made many attempts since its release to watch these movies, every time I fell asleep. Dozed off in the theatre, dozed off watching them at home, fell sleep at friends houses. They are just entire snore-fests. I only recently bought the trilogy to try to make it through them, and only recently I was able to FORCE myself to watch these movies.
I have not, and most likely never will understand why people put these films on such a high pedestal. I do get its incredible that its been long awaited by a lot of LotR fans that we get these films made, but these movies do no justice to the books.
If you're looking for a fantasy movie, with good effects that wont have you falling asleep of boredom, go watch Legend or Labyrinth. Both extremely well done for their time, with effects that trump any of these movies.
