Like a balloon bursting

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2014)

The movie had everything in the build up..
Dragon flying at the end scene of the last one, third installment of the trilogy, final trip to middle earth, years of waiting.. Even the first one third of the movie.. You get excited for the end battle. You expect to finally again see a Rohan or a Gondor type of battle.. And then the balloon bursts.. The majority of the scenes in the end are fight scenes not battle ones. The skirmishes neither invoke much emotion nor are that appealing. The performances are nice and the cinematography can never be beaten; but in the end, i just came out dissatisfied. This was not worthy of a middle earth film. As a middle earth fan, i expected more.. But yeah, i paid to watch all the three movies in theater.. That was the entire purpose of the makers right..
