Good special effects but little plot, longggg

Rating: 4/10 (30 December 2002)

I know the special effects were great but I admit to getting bored in this film. I preferred the first episode.
The plot line is very simple and getting a bit monotonous.

If there was more dialogue I might get to know the characters more and care about them. Maybe it helps if you have read the books, I haven't.
Some of the lead male actors are quite attractive to look at but even that wasn't enough to keep me awake.
New Zealand looks wonderful!
