Lord of the Rings, the Second Best Movie of all time Um. No.

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2002)

I have heard so many things about this movie it is unbelievable. I have seen this movie twice, read the books, and I can say for sure that it is not the 2nd best movie of all time. It is also ridiculous that this movie won the AFI best picture of the year against ten other briliant spectacular movies.
The first time I saw the movie everyone in my group was half and half on the opinion of weather they liked the movie. Some people thought it was dreadfull and were upset with me for making them see a 3 hour movie that they thought was "stupid." Others thought the movie was wonderfull but no one thought it was the best movie of the year. I thought the movie was average but when other people wanted to see it I thought I would give it a second chance.
The second time I saw it was a different experience. I liked the first half of the movie better but I thought the battle scenes towards the end were ridiculous. The acting was average but some of those "1-liners" were stabbing me in the heart. For instance, "Let's hunt some Ork" was my vote for the most ridiculous line in the movie.
I thought the special effects in the movie were amazing but the music and the acting were average. My favorite character was probably Frodo Bagins or Gandalf. I thought the movie relied on too much action which the book did not. Some people I heard said they were bored by the dialogue. That was my favorite part (besides the ring wraiths) in the whole film.

In short I do suggest you see this movie. Some of you will probably hate it, and some of you will probably like it, but none of you I doubt will worship this movie...even if you've read the books.
