disappointing experience

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2012)

since this is my first IMDb review, i'll keep it short - this movie is simply bad: too long, too boring, too much CGI, no character development, WAY too many pointless scenes, dialogs, and even pointless characters and cameo appearances...
weird mix of (wannabe) epic movie and kids movie... and comedy? oh boy...
maybe i'm being too harsh, but it is weird: it looks exactly the same as LOTR (visuals and other ingredients), but leaves very bad taste in one's mouth.
i can't remember the last time when i was in such agony: time was passing too slowly and i couldn't wait for the movie to end so that i can get away from the movie theater :-/
it's important to say this: i really really really wanted to like and enjoy this movie. so, my review is due to both: movie being really not good + me being very disappointed (i had really high hopes, having LOTR in mind).
so... i hope movie crew will read these 'hate it' reviews and learn from it and make 2nd and 3rd part better than this one.
