Kind of scary. [spoilers]

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2001)

Description: long narration, Renaissance fair, dialogue/action [repeat for 9 hours], a mountain, the end. No problem with imagination. But realize how not original it is. The "humble hero gets stuck saving the world" scenario with "sidekicks." The "come along for the adventure" vibe, with things I've been introduced to before.
The FX are cheesy with a capital Gouda. Overall it is somewhat lame, with too many uninteresting dialogue "getting to know ya" starters, and not enough delving into those highly frightening suspense scenarios. (Ratio would be 4:1 or less.)
Nothing against the hobbits, but I thought there'd be more action. Damn the trailer!
