Highly overrated

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2005)

My boyfriend and I disagree strongly about this, but I thought LOTR pt 2 and 3 lacked any emotional depth and it did not manage to capture my attention. In fact, I was relieved the movie ended.
Yes, the trilogy in itself is beautifully made from a technical point of view... but aside from technical prizes, it never ever should have won an Oscar for best movie. For me, the quality of the actors' performance to me is what a movie makes worthwhile to watch and to pick up prizes. None of the LOTR actors got even close to being nominated for any meaningful award, so how this movie ever managed to pick up best Film at the Academy Awards is completely beyond me.
Highly overrated.
