an unexpected disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2012)

Despite being a big fan of Peter Jackson's earlier work, this time I must admit that the story did not captivated me as I expected and leaves much to be desired.
It was hard for me to connect emotionally with the story and get excited with the main characters' mission . I feel that the film tried to integrate many elements at once, and that could saturates the story with to much information disturbing those who are not familiar with the overall story. the film has splendid moments that captivated me and others where it feels slow. It could be found some filler scenes,and although I enjoy the film, I got the final impression that the plot was unnecessarily expanded.
