Good, but not that good

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2004)

Spoilers for sure. A great film, but does it really deserve to sit in the top 250 at No3 beside the likes of Godfather 1 & 2 - I think not. The star of the show was a part CGI character (the future of acting??? again, I think not), and although sticking closely to the book, the closing 30mins were completely over indulgent and unnecessary.
Hopefully the test of time will bring it down to a more respectable level, ironically, in line with the IMDb staff. An unfortunate consequence of an open vote where trigger happy teenagers are let loose to superhype. 7/10
