It's not that good

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2002)

After learning that Lord of the Rings manage to beat my favorite movie - "The Godfather" on IMDB ratings, I couldn't wait to watch this film.

But today, after around 1.5 hours of the movie (knowing that there's a lot more to come..), I got a feeling that this is the most over-rated movie of all time. The movie shows great scenery and good performance from Ian McKellen but the script is just so boring and repetitive.

Step 1: Group of monsters are approaching. Step 2: Fight...Frodo almost got killed. Step 3: He's saved. Step 4: One of his companions got killed fighting the monster. Step 5: "we have to move on"
Repeat Step 1 to 5 a few times, possibly in the upcoming sequels as well. (which I am NOT going to watch)
6 out of 10 is a generous score.
