Title: Strangely, an overrated masterpiece
Review: Difficult to qualify the idea of an overrated masterpiece--a film that's is undoubtedly a magnificent achievement, but not the flawless paragon so many have labeled it. Understand me: FOTR is a gorgeous and exciting production, rich with detail and artistry. It is also inconsistently wrought--busy when simplicity would better serve it, or too intimate when it should be grand. Its effects are often unnecessary and even silly; disappointing to stifle chuckles at uninspired digital ripples and color inversions, when we know what a spectacular vision Jackson and his team are capable of realizing.
