A good story/book, destroyed by turning it into a cartoon movie.

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2013)

The graphics are great, but...
The book is originally well written and a wonderful story, but obviously modern film industry had to milk as much money out of it as possible. All the morale is gone, and it's just made into an action movie with lots of clobbering - again and again and again. Lots of scenes are written into the movie that weren't in the book, and mostly they're just clobbering scenes, with the persons surviving totally improbable situations where they couldn't survive (and the book is not like that). Practically a Tom & Jerry movie. Tom & Jerry are fine, but mixing their genre with Tolkien is just stupid and awkward. The movie is 3 hour long, and they'll make 3 such movies, 9 hours out of this little book, good grief. It would be 1 fine 2-3 hour movie. This is very sad, because as I said, it's a great story. Also, because I like adventure movies. It's just sad.
