not enough

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2005)

A story with a history of huge proportions; the director seemed to settle for second grade quality. The movie was put out, advertised and expected to be one of monumental standings yet throughout it was riddled with bad special effects, terrible actors and a screen play that left much to be desired in the way of leading us into the world the author originally intended. A lot of revivals are being made, but the 'Lord of the Rings' epic should have been one to set itself above all others, and in my opinion this wasn't the case. I'm sure that even if JRR Tolkien wanted it to be made into a movie, which i doubt he would have, it should have been done to the best capabilities the film industry has.
