Boring

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2002)

The only redeeming quality of this film was the epic battle sequences. A pornography of violence is the only thing that saved this film from being terribly boring.
The characters were very flat. Interaction between them was predictable (predictable, even without having read the books). For example, the undeveloped subplot between Aragorn and that princess was cliche. From the moment a hint of her liking him came out, I could see what was going to happen.
The only interesting character was Golum. He symbolized the external battle for good and evil through an internal struggle.
The dialogue in this movie offered nothing. It was mostly about one group's plans, followed by the enemies plans.
Well. I don't want to think much more about this movie. I think it was terrible. The fighting scenes and animation were cool. Perhaps the "acting" parts should be cut and the remaining scenes should be edited as cut scenes into a video game or something, because this definately doesn't stand as a film on its own.
