Very disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2002)

After having loved the first movie, I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen with those characters that "Fellowship" made me care so much about. And what do I get? A dull plot, unnecessary scenes, excess of characters, lame battles, talking trees... God, I could stay here all night complaining about EVERYTHING that was wrong with this movie. Not even the final battle scene could hold my interest; in fact, it was during that scene that I was endlessly checking my watch, wondering how close was the ending. If I hadn't gone with a friend (who by the way did like the film) I think I might have walked out on this one. I've walked out on a movie in a theater only once (although plenty of times I've pressed "stop" in a VCR) when I saw "How the grinch stole christmas", and this was just about to be the second one. Yes, it was THAT bad.
