The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Entertaining or dull?

I'm not sure where in your answers I would be. I saw them all and liked them quite a bit, despite their flaws. I don't personally think that they fall into the realm of great movies, but I wouldn't fault someone who does, and I think they are very entertaining movies.
I saw all three in theaters, but not on opening weekend, and didn't dress up as a hobbit or an orc. I've probably seen them once or twice since then. |

I enjoyed the first film. The storytelling and character build was entertaining. The second one I didn't like as much and the third I wanted to throw up.
so whatever choice that is, that is my answer.

I only saw the second one in a theater. The others I watched when I borrowed my brother-in-law's DVDs.

I liked them. I saw them once in the thrater and once on DVD. Not in a hurry to see them again, but I would probabyl watch them if they showed on netflix. I really liked the books and the movies do a decent (but certainly not perfect) job of capturing the books.
