This Film is REALLY Awful

Rating: 1/10 (2 September 2003)

I just watched the DVD wondering if my impressions would change. They did. What I thought was bad in the theater is now terrible. This film is dull and choppy, with horrible dialogue and weak acting from the "regular" cast. The plot is nonexistant, most of the fighting CGI average at best, and except for the breakthrough of the Gollum character, there is absolutely nothing worthwhile in this mediocre film. The high rating here is baffling...until you see that there are millions of people who also think "Attack of the Clones" is a good film. Fans will accept the worst if it has the name Lord of the Rings or Star Wars attached to it. I thought the first film was weak--but the extended edition on DVD was truly beautiful. I am holding out hope, but I can't imagine that there is going to be a similar "extended edition" save here...because this film is truly awful.
