Horrible revamp to Lord Of The Rings

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2014)

Really sad that Peter Jackson isn't more creative. He basically ruined a perfectly good story by making Gandalf the hero. Bilbo is the actual hero here, but every time he gets into a situation Gandalf magically appears. To many added fight scenes and extra story lines with characters that weren't even in the book. Just another over done movie. I was really sad I spent all that money and time to see it in the theater. If your a true Hobbit fan this movie will disappoint. Aside from the horrible lack of creativity the adventure is fun. The graphics are good. Gollum is awesome, and I was stoked about the Bilbo/Gollum scene. That was one star worth. The rest of the movie is over done. I think Jackson forgot that this is a child's story. The culture today is about shoot them and kill them, so if that is what you are into then this movie is for you. Enjoy I on the other hand will not see the second installment. Overpriced poorly done story telling. Sad he ruined a Tolkien story probably why he never wanted his books sold out to Hollywood to begin with.
