Good, but not _that_ good

Rating: 5/10 (27 August 2002)

I am so sick of the hype surrounding this movie. Sure, it was a good fantasyflick. But it also had more money, better actors and the advantage of having a huge crowd of fans that wouldn't admit that the movie was bad even if it was.
The movie has mood and sometimes it captured Tolkiens visions(what i think is the Tolkien vision, at least) pretty ok. But it still had a huge number of flaws. The 8.9-rating here at IMDB is ridicolous, it is NOT that good. And it's not fair to put it up among The Godfather and such movies.
It's something about this movie that i really don't like. Something that i can't put my finger on..
