Lord of The Hype

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2002)

Do people seriously believe that this poorly acted film is better than classics such as Goodfellas and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?
Never before have I sat through such a predictably boring film than this hyped up tale of dodgy wizards with equally dodgy dialogue, Teletubbie sets and laughably un-scary Dark Riders that seem blind as well as stupid.
Most of LOTR seems like bad out-takes from the vastly superior Monty Python The Holy Grail except that film had great jokes.
The Oscars finally got something right and decided to ignore this OTT effort.
