Visual nice but plot-less and depth-less

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2002)

Well Jo Haslam, I coudn't agree with you more, this movies lacks depth and a good plot which in my opinion make a movie great. Movies like Shawshank redemption, Shindlers list, am beauty, memento DO have this, and when u end watching the movie u r just blown away by the impact it creates.
I didn't have this feeling with this one, its a nice movie, the effects and the soundtrack are great, the atmosphere is great (sometimes) but a movie is not build around the effects etc.... I didnt read the book either maybe it had given me a little more background and maybe then I could place myself more into the movie, but now I think where's the story that takes you with your throat and dont let go anymore). The start is great, then one hour of complete annoyance, I thought nothing is gonna save the movie from a complete disaster (in the meanwhile I thought 3 times to quit watching, but I thought this movie is no4 on the imdb list, so it must be good, so I decided to watch further) then on 1.5 hour when the form a fellowship and they go on their way to drop the ring, the movie switches completely, I thought ok, it's becoming better now, and it became more interesting but at the end I can say it didn't save the movie to become a real good one, it wasn't that bad though but I've seen LOADS of better movies with better stories.
Just a really hyped up movie like Titanic. Titanic is much better though!!!
I know there are a lot of people who disagree with me but a movie is really excellent if u r blown away at the end, speechless. Well, the feeling I had at the end of this one is far from this!
