Meh-ddle Earth Rides Again

Rating: 7/10 (31 December 2012)

I'm waiting for the next episode of this Soap Opera, because that's what it looks like in HFR. Skip that terrible miscarriage of video technology. Don't need the realism. Don't want the realism. It's freaking Middle Earth, for crying out loud, I don't want to see the glue in Gandalf's wig.
Couple that with a story that is paced at the speed of continental drift, stuffed with so much extra material not found in the book, for the sole purpose of squeezing as much money out of the viewing public as possible, by forcing three movies from the source material.
Nevertheless, I liked the IMAX 3D. I don't get headaches and vertigo. Generally, if 3D surpasses Tron Legacy, I'm usually cool. Enjoy it, because it won't be around much longer, and I'm cool with that, too.
Overall it was watchable and enjoyable, if you have a couple of drinks before, and you don't see it too late. My wife fell asleep, but she does that during a lot of things.
