Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2013)

This was the first time for me in a cinema, to get SO bored that i really wanted to leave. After an hour of complete emptiness, childish- funny times, ridiculously big and endless no point scenes, the director decided that it was finally the time that the ''big'' adventure to begin, leaving behind the ''musical with dwarfs''. Hello, it was so boring that i would get excited watching anything after THIS beginning. I must say, I love LOTR, all 3 and have watched them many times so far, BUT 10+ years after, i was expecting an evolution ed, with more complexity, great assembled film, with stunning aesthetics and a new type of scenario that would take the whole concept to a new dimension from a new approach... instead that film is like a copy paste from the original in a bad and shameless way. The cast is not to be remembered, except of course the actors from the LOTR. The only thing that saves the film is of course the graphics that are super, but for me, not in the 48 frames edition, as it loses the fairytale magic. Overall it left me bittersweet and probably not going to watch the next 2 films. It takes a lot courage to make the next step.
