Rezension von joe_hill

The problem with this movie is that Peter Jackson seem to believe that Middle- earth is somewhere in the Star Wars galaxy or on board James Camerons Titanic. Therefore he has re-written the story from the book in an attempt to make it "bigger and better". In the original text there where no fun side-kicks with good one-liners and there where not enough cool toys so Peter had to throw in some Orc wolf riders and dwarf jokes. Then he find Frodos meeting with Faramir to be a bit too boring in the book, so he "spice it up" with a "dramatic" scene where Frodo stands in front of a ring wraith trying to give it the ring. Yeah baby! There are also plenty of not good enough acting from the extras. Extremely theatrical lines like "Look it's the king!" are a bit too common. If you thought the books where boring then maybe this is a film for you. Now there are plenty of "fun" side-kicks in it to save you from embarrassing seconds of silence or non-action. If you actually liked the books, stay away from this movie.
