Lord of The Rings: Now this was a visually stunning movie BUT come on, like 10 Oscar nominations? I don't think so! It was not the movie of the century. It was not as good as the book a'tall.
On the same tip of movies based on books, Queen of The Damned was AWFUL. They ripped the guts out of Anne Rice's dark and sensual book to make a LOVE STORY. Ugh. What dreck.
