Extremely Disappointing, from a True LOTR enthusiast

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2012)

Movie Had too much potential, I'm very disappointed and saddened as a huge LOTR enthusiast (greatest movies of all time). Movie is totally ruined by trying too hard to be LOTR (and also trying not to be at the same time), Poor humor and references to modern day humor, Recycled OST (the original hobbit ost parts are amazing), Poor Monster design (example Azog), Out of place & overused CGI, lot of badly thought out scenes, Movie confused between being an adult or children's movie, lack of thrill and suspense and un-required silly additions (example Radagast). While the Scenery is great, overall world design is disappointing (except for the old dwarf kingdom)
Plus side is the acting is superb and the original aspects of the OST is amazing.
Peter Jackson let himself down and let his true fanbase down. A lot of people who liked the movie are in Denial, or new to the series, or are simply blind / out of touch with what makes a movie great. Most LOTR fans , or even anyone who liked and cherish LOTR found this movie disturbingly disappointing.
And YES i read the book btw.
I can only hope the 2nd is superior, though i'm not very hopeful.
The Rating on IMDb has gone down a bit, and i'm sure it'll go lower as days go by. Rotten tomatoes has a more accurate rating on this movie (65%)
