Great special effects but a wussboy for a main character

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2006)

I thought that this whole series was pretty bad mainly because of Frodo. He is the most pathetic wussboy I have ever seen in a movie. His presence ruined all of the movies for me. The fighting scenes and special effects are awesome, but I am still left wondering why anybody entrusted the stupid ring with a sniveling, weak, whining, wussboy and why we have to watch him for 9 hours.
The ending is gayish when everybody is hugging on the bed, but it seems to fit Frodo's wussboy personality.
I don't think that JRR Tolkien's work was really that great compared to fantasy writers today, although he did open a door for them. He centers all of his plots (LOTR, The Hobbit) around weak, smallish, wusslike characters that nobody would ever want to be like.
