I didn't get it.

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2006)

I wanted to like this movie. I really, really did. I've attempted to watch the movie several times since it first came out, but I kept falling asleep. Finally, most recently, and and after 8 nights, I finished it. It took me 8 nights because I kept having to stop and rewind because something was said or someone was referred to and I had no idea what they were talking about. I don't understand why everyone says Sauron is dead 3000 years, but he and Gandalf are fighting. I was just........lost. I'm giving this a rating of 5 out of 10 because there's something that I'M obviously missing, but I'm not sure what. I don't want to continue with Two Towers and Return of the King because I'll most likely be MORE lost than I am now, but I honestly don't think I'll be able to make it through Fellowship again.
