Definitely, worth seeing

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2003)

Before talking about the movie, I would like to make some remarks about some thing said. When I entered the movies, I KNEW I was gonna watch something that lasted almost 3 hours (2h 50m to be precise), so the only thing that annoyed me about the length was that I was starving.
I also knew that I was gonna watch a movie, not watch a book, so I didn't expect it to be exactly like the book.
But, I didn't enjoy at all the final speech that Sam and Frodo had. I just looked at the trees fighting and all that to find out that Sam had been talking nonsense all that while. Happened the same in Harry Potter: "touching" dialogs with soft music.
No words about Gollum, nicely made, I understood him, as I understood Frodo being nice to him. Maybe Frodo realized that HE was gonna be another Gollum. I didn't even notice the trees being mixed up with the war. If I had seen that war more than half an hour (JUST-A-WAR) I would get the hellaouta there. And when the trees came down from the forest to destroy the giant headquarter, I couldn't help to smile like saying victory!

I have seen better scores, the were sometimes uncomprehensible. I sometimes was trying to find out if that was a scottish instrument or a violin.Bull's eye when someone said quasi-Irish, quasi-classical.
In the beginning the acting was a little unconvincing. Spoilers: We MUST remember that in that time -the middle ages- the fire did not extinguish because of water. In the battle, when the rain starts, almost everyone has torches. If that actually happen, I just do not know how the fire kept alive. If some can explain that to me... Also, I don't know if hobbit can have some kind of a disease, that changes their height but sometimes they went underneath a horse, and, what kid can pass underneath a horse. The weren't THAT small. Sometimes very predictable. Who DIDN'T know that in the forest they were gonna be saved by a giant tree. Sort of a cliché. Great movies, the spoilers only made me laugh.
