very overrated

Rating: 1/10 (23 August 2002)

I wonder that media and audience like so much this movie. I think it is nothing special. Yes, great special effects and so on, but ( Tolkien, forgive me please) similar fables about magician and elfs have been heard and re-heard and this one don't surpass other ones: it seems to me a riedition of Germanic mithology. The entire movie is boring. 3 hours of this will annoy also a saint. Very strange that almost all like it. I can't explain that, can you?
