Priceless Rotten Filmmaking.

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2015)

I thought it was awful. It's like the worlds most expensive movie for children that was unsuitable for children: due to a body count of hundred of people dying violently it in the movie. I was a fan of the first three Lord of the Rings films so I went to see this one. I saw it in 3D on a screen that was too small to support a movie in 3D. It was so long that I left before it was finished feeling like I had just sat through a two hour kiddie film-one that didn't even work on the level of an escapist film for a number of reasons. Firstly it was so full of cheap monster special effects it came off like a remake of a cheap monster movie. Secondly: the acting wasn't very good-there were so many long looks the movie took on the tone of a life insurance policy commercial somewhere in the middle. That they were dealing with 'big things' was lost in the muddle that defined this films plot line. Really a titanic waste of time even for viewers with open minds willing to check out anything out there. For over twelve dollars I think that pretty much sucks. I give it no better than a four out of ten.
