My 4 Cents

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2003)

Lord of the Rings, in my opinion, was a terrible movie. I'm no fan of fantasy-fiction, especially when it deals with Orcs, elves, dwarves and wizards, but this was just a terribly made movie. The special effects were very primitive looking. The actors were okay, they did the best they could with the script, they played the part. But the dialogue was so declarative it was tiring to listen too. Everything was dramatized too much. Instead of saying, "Run!" Gandolf has to give a little speech first, "There lies a creature far beyond the might of any of you." The dialogue was very pointless. The Hobbits were alright, they'd say things and get to the point. All the other characters had to turn everything into a little speech. If they'd cut out the useless excess of dialogue, they'd have a decent 2 hour movie.
