Awful money grabbing

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2014)

I read "the Lord of the Rings" including "the Hobbit" about 7 times before Jackson made a very well adaptation of LOTR. Being born in '74 I also witnessed his progress in filmmaking, "Dead alive" is still one of my favourites.
But this? Bloated and pompous, technically well done, but... I went to the cinema and walked out of it half an hour before it ended. It bored me to death. Here we have another monster our 14 heroes are running away from. And some more orks. And another monster.
I know it's basically the story, but blowing up a foreplay and origin of a real masterpiece to that size?
8.0 from IMDb users, seriously? I feel no heart in this film, although it appeals so hard to the viewer. It's just so superstitious.
