Title: This won academy awards?
Review: I watched the movie, with avid Tolken fans as my guide. I was just as disappointed as they were.The hype of the movie really failed to bring it to light. It spends a lot of time mired in long scenes where nothing expansive of plot driving really takes place.While the actors were well picked, the much talked about special effects left a lot to be desired. Some of the digital backgrounds felt detached, and if there was human style movement, the figures were robotic.A lot of the plot and dialogue is easy to determine just due to the events that need to take place before they could be allowed to die. The dialogue sometimes just goes on and on when a few sentences are needed.A few of us even laughed with the whole opening flashback involving Sauron.Overall. Not really worth the three hours spent. We hope the Two Towers will be more compelling.
