Not good enough.. made like a fairytale movie..

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2013)

People say that this movie is not connected to The Lord of the Rings, and if you review it from that angle, not from LOTR perspective, this is one really good movie! One good animated movie for younger population (suitable for kids too). Fun movie, great special effects, many things happening, colorfull places... like a little fairytale. BUT THIS IS NOT JUST SOME FAIRYTALE MOVIE, THIS IS LORD OF THE RINGS SECUEL! it's the movie that should explain a lot of things about ring, hobbits, dwarfs, wizards, Sauron... It looks to me that most important things while making this movie was a good animation, that it looks stunning in theatres so it can make a lot of money for the people making it.. at some point i felt like watching an animated cartoon..
If only this movie was made 10 years ago, just after LOTR.. if only this movie was made in that dark, and serious way as LOTR was, it would simply be as good as the LOTR was, and it would be a forever great movie!
this way, it is just one of those really cool movies to watch once in a while.. from me a strong 7, nothing more.
