Dire

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2002)

This film is long. It goes on and on and on, and just when you think it is finished, it goes on a bit more, and then, when it finally does finish, it just stops. Rubbish.
Lovely scenery, fight scenes quite good, and that's it.
I have never fallen asleep at the cinema before but I did today and it was a blessed relief as, for me, the film was only six hours long as I was asleep for the middle two.
Avoid this film. At all costs. Even more, avoid the kind of dullard lunatics who will say this was fantastic and you must read the books. Don't read the books - they are worse.
Stay at home, rent a proper movie, watch it twice, make some tea, watch it again and you will still have used up less of your short life than by watching this terrible, terrible movie.
God it was bad.
