As cinematically pretty as it is...

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2002)

BORING. I expected more from Peter Jackson. His previous films had characters that interested me. This was like watching a very prolonged game of dungeons and dragons. The technical aspects of the film were absolutely stunning as expected, but the movie was sluggish and unentertaining. I had high hopes and maybe I shouldn't have. Overall, a disappointment.
