Why why why

Rating: 2/10 (17 March 2002)

Beatiful landscapes, sets and costumes but far too long, far too boring and I miss the point in the story, ... why this movie? If its about human greed, love, devotion, hate etc. etc. far better movies have been made! If it's just for fun and love of myths, ancients worlds then again far better movies have been made.
I am not a fantasy fan (obvious), but besides that I think it is a pity that it has got so many votes to place it in #2 in the top 250 list. I think that it has not got anything to do with it's qualities as a movie, just that many fantasy/Tolkien fans are so pleased with it.
