Boring, as the book, but great SFX

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2003)

Yes, the SFX and the scenery are amazing and unseen. They made me enjoy the last hour of the movie. However, the movie is just too long. Same problem as in the book: it just does not get to the point and the story is pretty boring. For part one, the film managed to undo some of the boredom i had when reading the novel, unfortunately for part 2 that was not the case. 10/10 for the art director, 5/10 for the movie.
