disappointing.

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2003)

I loved The Fellowship and was pretty disappointed in this having had such high hopes for it.I cant believe people are raving about the character bonding and development as high points.To me these aspects of the movie were on a par with the lacklustre performances in The Phantom Menace.Its funny that another reviewer also likened it to "The Never Ending Story" as that is exactly what came to my mind whilst my arse and brain were getting numbed simultaneously.I also felt that The Fellowship could be enjoyed as a separate entity but TTT felt like the middle bit in a really long and boring epic.All that may sound pretty harsh,don't get me wrong it was mildly entertaining but sadly still fell far short of the precedent set by The Fellowship.
