I walked out halfway through the film, it was THAT bad!

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2001)

I have never seen so many people walk out of a film. I cannot see how anyone can have enjoyed this film, the acting was awful, the script dire. Now I knew nothing about this film or Tolkien apart from the hype around it so I went in with an open mind hoping to enjoy it. However about an hour in I was bored stiff. It was not the fact that it was three hours long,I knew that much. It was not the fact that it was a slow film, I knew that much. It was the fact that they fought a baddy, then fought another baddy, then fought another baddy. BORING with a capital B!
Anyway when I left two hours in I had just realised that I had missed nothing and I already knew the ending as it was so predictable without even knowing anything about the film.
