Epic with great CGI!

Rating: 6/10 (16 June 2013)

Review: What an epic movie! I was lucky that I had something to do, because I definitely would have fallen asleep whilst watching the film. Anyway, I wasn't a big fan of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy so I wasn't overly excited about this movie. I loved the parts with Gollum and some of the CGI looked amazing, but I did lose interest in the film. I suppose that was my fault because I didn't really know who was who. To be honest, it just seemed like Peter Jackson wanted to show off what he can do, which will make everyone rush to the cinema to see the whole trilogy. Watchable!
Round-Up: It's obvious that Peter Jackson is going to milk this franchise for what he can get because with 3D technology and the extended Blu-Rays, he will definitely be able to retire. I don't know how close this film was to the books so I can't really comment on the storyline, but I would have liked an actor with more charisma in the leading role. Galdolf did kick ass but it was Gollum that done it for me.
Budget: $250million Worldwide Gross: $1billion
I recommend this movie to everyone that was into The Lord Of The Rings franchise. 6/ 10
