If you haven't read the novel -

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2002)

the movie won't make alot of sense. "Rings" is an action adventure all the way, forsaking the mythologic middle earth of Tolkien's novel for a "Star Wars: Phantom Menace" style wanna be epic. As such I found it overlong and dullish, but it would be perfect for those 30 yr old nerdish types who live for these types of things.
