not better than Godfather II

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2003)

Come on people, relax. This was a visually stunning movie, which beautifully portrayed middle earth. But please, #3 all time. The acting is average at best. Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood make me shutter every time they open their mouths. The best actor in this movie was Sean Astin, who thus far has gone unrecognized. This is a very good movie, I agree, but not the third best, and certainly not better than godfather II. Lets all take a deep breath, relax, and then rank it where it belongs.
