But in my circle of friends I have:-One that rates it about a 5 out of 10.-Two that rate it about a 3 out of 10.Those that give it the harshest criticism had the following to say as to what they thought hurt the film quality.-Sweeping shots done at the wrong times made for bad viewing.-Story pacing was horrible.-No interest or care for characters like Merry and Pippin.-Orcs die too easily.-Not enough singing.-No Tom Bombadil.-Took too long to get the action. Who cares about the fairy stuff.I've found that most dislikes kind of fall into the categories of either personal tastes, bias against any unfaithfulness from the book, or a misunderstanding as to how the LOTR story is being brought to us . Example: its not that the writer forgot to write an ending, its the fact that a viewer may not understand that he's only watching ACT 1 of a complete story). And that the pacing  does not follow standard Hollywood templates because its only part 1 of 3 and its off a book that wasn't entended to be a film. Merry and Pippin don't have much character development because again, it's only ACT 1. In the second act, we'll see more.  Some forget that they're only watching a third of a story. They are NOT watching the first story and waiting for two sequels. They are again....watching only a third. But anyways, I stray from the original topic. 'thegreatbuddha' , you're not alone. Others think it sucked too. I'm not one of them. But you're not alone.</blockquote>
