Lotr is back and better than ever!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2016)

This was truly one of the best films I've ever seen!!! I could watch this 3 times in a row, for real, it never bores! Definitely just as good as the Lotr series, if not better! Some people might have a preference for this film, as it emphasizes humour and adventure rather than warfare, although it already has references to the "rising darkness" that we know from lotr. It actually reminds me of the atmosphere in The Fellowship, perhaps it's the similarity of some characters or the sense of excitement and adventure, I'm not sure...
From the very start of this film I thought "yes! Tolkien's back on the screen all right!!!", went to see this at the movie theatre and I got truly ecstatic, this is one of these films people get truly addicted to :D Even if you're not usually into the fantasy genre it's something everyone should watch, it's also a very nice film to watch as a family, it has many interesting elements, not just stunning fantasy special effects but also very good humour and deep-going character development.
I love what they've done with the story, although Tolkien's novel is somewhat childish and wasn't meant to be nearly as serious or as extensive a story as Lotr, the film makers have turned it into a Lotr- worthy masterpiece!:D
So you don't need to worry about this being a watered down version of Lotr made for commercial purposes, it's not! This is just as good - if not better - than the Lotr films and is definitely a must see for all!!!:D
