Plodding series

Rating: 4/10 (6 March 2004)

Sorry but I'm not a fan. Years ago I tried reading the Hobbit but got bored by chapter 2. The first film was so so pedestrian and plodding and dare I say boring?? I saw the second on DVD such was the lack or exceitment, for me, caused by the first one.The second was little better and the third although the best of the lot is surely not THAT good?? Undoubtadly a brave production and full credit to Peter Jackson and co, awesome special effects, excellent acting but I just find this whole hobbity elf wizard thing SO BORING. It was like the Phantom Menace all that quasi neo religious clap trap was such a let down compared to the first Star Wars that I haven't bothered seeing the one about the clones and the third one.
