That was amazing!

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2012)

After I read up all the critical rubbish about the movie I can tell you - I was afraid they might have messed up big time.
The high score here ( 8.7 at this time) could have been from fans and die hard fanatics of the series, and the critics pointed out everything - from bad acting and cheesy story, overblown special effects and childish monsters, and even the length and use of 48 fps... And me, the idiot, believed them and went to the theater expecting to be let down - BOY was I wrong there!
The movie was amazing! For the whole 3 hours I was glued to my seat and when the movie ended - the whole theater audience stood up and gave a thunderous applause, now that should say something about how good the movie was. Given that I am a fan of the series and enjoyed the return to Middle Earth, I'm giving this movie a full 10 - now I just have to wait for the second part, and when that's done, for the third one... Ah man, I HATE waiting! :D
