Mediocre, at best

Rating: 2/10 (12 May 2013)

Wasn't impressed, not in the least.
A waste of my money. Poor acting, lovely scenery, won't be buying the DVD.
Not anywhere near JRR Tolkien's book. Peter Jackson should be ashamed of himself. But he won't be. He'll reap the millions. He did great with the Lord of the Rings series.
But this movie is crap. Poor acting, poor script, poor plot, great scenery.
Jackson deviated big time from the original story line.
Poetic license? Or just arrogance. I think the latter.
And the acting by the actors leaves a lot to be desired.
My advice, give it a miss.
