So much love

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2012)

I was a little worried about going to see this movie after some of the early reviews going on about pacing issues and the length being unnecessary and so on.
Happy to say that my fears were unfounded. I loved every minute of the film and would gladly follow Peter Jackson on any journey he wishes to begin on film.
Rich a beautiful as one would expect, I enjoyed the way the story was presented using not just the book, but the extended appendices written by Tolkien as well. The story feels fuller and for a nerd like me it is pure heaven.
I have no issues with the small book being made in to three movies. It gives ample time to let fans soak in all the wonder and excitement.
There were some CGI issues I wasn't in love with, but they are minor. I saw the 2D version and had no problem. I hear the HFR version is pretty awesome, perhaps next time.
Ignore the critics. make up your own mind.
