I finally saw the first Lord of the Rings. And even though it was 3 hours 28 minutes, it didn't feel very long. Timmy said that the first one wasn't as exciting as the other two, so I expected it to be slow. I found it exciting and very interesting. I did get confused a bit, especially in the beginning. Good thing I waited to watch it with Timmy.
Another reason I had a hard time following was because I could hardly hear it at times. Sometimes the movie was loud and then they would be whispering. It was quite annoying. Also, it seemed that our neighbors were having a gathering of some sort. They were really, really loud, and even though I had the volume way up, I still had a hard time hearing the movie. It probably didn't help that it was raining and thundering outside very loudly. Also, the fans were blowing in my ears.
When Timmy went to bed, I decided I would finish the movie with the subtitles on. But a minute after turning on the subtitles, something horrible happened. I turned the laptop on to check my email. When I turned my head back to the screen, there were credits. Closing credits. The movie was over. What??? What kind of ending was that? It just stopped. It didn't even feel like a proper cliffhanger. And true, I have the other two movies here. I can watch it right away. I could watch it right now, but still I'm kind of annoyed by it.
But other than my disappointment with the ending, I enjoyed the movie. I liked it more than I expected. I said dito a couple of times. I squeezed Timmy's hand a few times. And there wasn't anything I found too creepy to scare me tonight. It was cool. Onto Two Towers...but not tonight.
