3 hours of my life I'll never get back

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2001)

I am not saying this film was terrible, just not worthy of the hype. I have never read the books, so thankfully, my expectations were not high. Special effects were okay...except that in group shots, the Hobbits were never the same size compared to the others in the group...sometimes they were munchkins, other times they came about chest high. A poor job was done to inform us non-Tolken fans of each class of characters and where they fit into the story. Then again, I dozed off and might have missed something.
