Over-rated Over Hyped and This thing could have won an Oscar?

Rating: 1/10 (5 May 2002)

I walked into the theater thinking, "OH BOY! I watched the cartoons and was trying to read the books and now I will understand LORD of THE RINGs like never before". The opening of the movie was very good and told the back story, and then we met Frodo.. and the movie came crashing down. I left the theater wanting my 13.50 back! This movie was 2hrs and 58 mins of my life wasted, over some over hyped movie! The characters were so 1 sided I could see through them. The acting couldn't have been any worse. Frodo delivered every line in the same tone. Poor Gandalf seemed to be the only character really "alive" so to speak. The film was edited very badly with eachturn your wondering will this movie end? I get they are going on a quest but it shouldn't take 30 mins of screen time to get from point A to point A and 1/2.
Things I hated about LOTR
1) The bad editing 2) The bad acting 3) No Character Development 4) The Script 5) THE REALLY BAD ACTING 6) The REALLY BORING FIGHT SCENES
If your a fan of the books, I bet you will love it! If your not, skip this. Because this a fan based movie.
