I liked it but it doesn't compare to LOTR.

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2013)

I thought it had a very good storyline to go off of and the world was very fascinating and grabbed my attention. There were several things that tie in with LOTR and I think that is very cool, one of the big things i look forward to throughout this trilogy. If you're a huge LOTR fan and like it for its visuals and creatures you could be a tad let down. I was disappointed at the creatures, I'm an aspiring FX makeup artist so its something i have such a love for in this series, i felt as they were WAY too animated and I was very upset that they let that happen. Lord Of The Rings had amazing creatures and characters that in no way looked overly animated. Call me spoiled... But I did still manage to like the creatures, it isn't something that is poorly done. Great movie and I cant wait to see where it goes from here.
