Don't waste your time.

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2001)

I do not understand the greatness of this movie. I thought it was utterly AWFUL. First off, it was 3 hours long. No character development and it was extremely hard to follow the sequence of events. I thought maybe I was missing something because I had never read the books and am not too into the fanatasy/fairy/gnome genre... but my brother read the books as a child and still agreed with me it was a bad flick. Neat sets and special effects though. I guess for folks who know nothing about the movie, don't go and sit through this painfully long movie, rent it and have an official intermission and rewind to scenes that dont make a bit of sense.
