Umm... two hobbits go on a journey to find a plot?

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2003)

Well... I wasn't too taken with Fellowship, yet I still had high hopes for this one. I'll know better next time. I'll admit I haven't read the books, but I still could not willingly suspend my disbelief. I kept thinking about my hair, what I needed in terms of groceries, and my girlfriend. Not thinking about the movie is somewhat distressing. The whole of the movie is people running around killing monsters. The movie is fun to look at, not to think about. 3 of the main characters are badly developed, and the idea of Aragorn and company fighting a war when they're supposed to be destroying the ultimate evil doesn't quite sit well with me. Sorry, Jackson. This is an okay film. Not a great, spectacular, or magestic film like Gangs of New York, (A better way to spend 3 hours) it's just okay.
