Utter Hogwash - Patrick Walker's review of The Fellowship Of The Ring

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2002)

The best movie of its genre ever made? BALDERDASH! Jason And The Argonauts is a thousandfold better than this overblown sprawling hollow spectacle of a film. Nobody will believe me seeing as everybody else in the world thinks otherwise. Well, just for the record, I'm right and everybody else is wrong. Did this film win an award for cinematography? It is so filled with digital images and enhancements that you cannot tell what HAS been photographed! What an insult to the real masters of film photography. Liv Tyler!? By Crom, what was Peter Jackson thinking? Certainly, Ian Mckellen and Sean Bean are titans among men, but this film doesn't do them any favours. But the best movie of its genre ever made?! If anybody thinks that THIS is in any way as good as The Dark Crystal, then their imaginations are as foul as vulcans stithy. Hail and Kill! The End
