HFR 3D version is Awful!

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2012)

Couldn't tell you about the story line. The graphics in this version are so unbelievably bad it will distract you from the plot. The action scenes look like they are cut scenes from a video game. There are way too many scenes that rely on CG that don't need to. From the Awful rabbit pulled cart to the fight scenes with goblins, all are poorly done.
Remember the gorgeous scenes from Rivendell from the original series? Looks like a (bad) matte painting here. The scenes from the original trilogy with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas chasing Orcs on foot across luscious landscapes? Similar scenes here are CG and just look wrong.
Look at other reviews of this version of the movie, and don't say you weren't warned!
