In Reply to: Someone's really good explanation of why LOTR has bored me and so many others. posted by clarkjohnsen on December 21, 2003 at 13:50:15:

but I did not find in the article an explanation of why you are bored by LOTR--either the film or the books. Yes, its similar in some ways to Wagner's, but also different. Stories about rings with magical powers go back to Plato and pre-Babylonian cultures. So what? The article is mostly about Shore's music, which like Tolkien's book, owes something to Wagner. How does that explain why you are bored and unsatisfied? What am I missing?
