Not a very good movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2002)

First of all, I really really wanted to like this movie. I had read all three books before the movie. Movie is spoiled with too many effects which look like computer effects. I might be the only person on this planet who likes more the cartoon version than this one. The reason is simple. Orcs, Balrog, cave troll and especially dark riders look REALLY stupid in this version. They all look like they came from a video game. Dark riders don`t, because they are real actors but I hated the moment when Aragorn attacks the riders with a torch and they run screaming away. Dark riders are supposed to be scary, they shouldn`t look like old women.
There is also many things left outside which were in the book and this can be easily understood because even now the movie is too long and too boring.

This is still a decent try. I couldn`t have done better movie about this subject but then again, I wouldn`t have ever even tried.
