Lord of the Borings

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2003)

This movie was a grandiose waste of time. Beautifully filmed, boring as hell. I agree that it's based on a fabulous story. But the book was reekingly badly written and dragging. Couldn't they have condensed the boringness into two hours instead of three excruciating ones? I could forgive it if it were shorter because the last hour was exciting. However, the first two hours were so dull that I looked at my watch every ten minutes. By the time the film really started, I was too disgruntled to care. Feh.
