Negative Positive
Title: Liked the elves, hated the rest. Stupid.
Review: Bored. Bored by the books, too, but the movie got such great reviews I thought the visuals would be worth it. I like fantasy and adventure epics generally so I can only speculate as to why I'm in the severe minority on this one.Briefly, it may be a guy thing. The redundant battle scenes particularly. How many times am I expected to see Frodo almost killed and Our Heroes fight off a zillion attackers in one movie? Particularly, the death scene at the end was like watching some kind of bad soldier porn.As a female I appreciate Hollywood's attempt to put some attractive males in here. At least my attention is not expected to be held by ugly, short, kind of slow, nasty hobbits like in the novels in which they seem to do nothing but eat elf crackers at regular intervals for 1500 pgs.Classic. Masterpiece. With so many long positive review there has to be a point. All I can say is :Whatever.
Is the review positive or negative?
