God awful movie.

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2003)

People's standards in big budget flicks sure have dropped in recent years. This is a terrible movie. If not for the cult like following of readers of the book, this movie would have been cut to pieces by critics and viewers. Throughout the movie, I kept saying, "So what. Who cares. What is the point?" And then at the end... another "So what." I never read the book and never will based on movie. It's just a bunch of mystical and mythological characters running around and around and around without no purpose or message. My wife was so angry at the senselessness of the movie she got a headache. I just got bored to death.
