Am I the only one thinking that this movie is just no big deal? To be honest I never liked sci-fi movies or books (apart from Star Wars-the 3 first parts not those new horible ones), there is no sense of realism.... I dunno, I like stories about life as it is. Funny, sad, I don't care. These kind of flicks just tell me nothing. And above all, I get bored to death. I cannot understand what do you find interesting in a 180 minute film that has battles, dragons, all kinds of unreal characters (trolls, hobbits, whatever they call 'em), great PC work (but this is a film not a video game), and crap acting... The music can be very good though sometimes, I can grant you that. But then, I have the soundtrack, I don't need to watch the film. I get sooooooooo bored lads.... I can't help it.
I'm not biased against the film. I'm gonna watch it this weekend. But it's just for the fun of it, I won't remember nothing afterwards. I dunno why.... To many European flicks I guess. Plus, does it have to be so long? 3 hours???
Don't crucify me kids.... It's just an opinion. I'm gonna post on the film Monday I guess...
And all true film freaks know that Jackson's best work is and will be Braindead. Blood and guts all over baby, yeah!!!
