I couldn't help but hear many women of the audience talking afterwards about how much they were unimpressed by the whole film.

Interesting comment. Was it the lack of "romance,"in the modern sense?

This work of fiction is truly a man's fantasy. I am a woman and I have been reading the 1000 page book for the last few days, and I am finding it quite dull. I'm waiting for something to happen. Too much about travelng through beautiful scenery, too much about fears and black riders, and what's to happen next. Maybe it is the lack of a prominent woman in the story so far. Frodo has already reached Rivendale, or whatever. But I'll keep struggling along.

Epstein has to always find a way to be negative didn't you know.
