I tried to shed some tears... but I couldn't!

Hey Everyone
First I want to say that I'm a big Tolkien fan. Watched LOTR, red the Hobbit and other middle earth references...
I have some critics in mind concerning BOTFA,:
1- The movie was shot on Red "digital cameras" which are meant mostly for commercials and Sci-fi movies. it captures more highlights than film cameras... the detailed imperfections of the props, makeup, fake hair, chromakey would be more apparent in the movie... All these factors make you aware that you are "watching a movie".
2- The 48 fps ruined the cinematic (epic) look that we were used to in LOTR. Believe it or not, the LOTR still looks more realistic then the Hobbit trilogy. More organic, epic and ,middle-earth like.
3- The script is....Reckless and fast... There's a lot of funny moments but in the wrong spot of the script. where you would expect to cry on the climax, you feel stoic. Where you would expect to rest and "contemplate", you are led to disturbed scenes. everything is repetitive and happening so fast. I expected to see more of Beorn... you get to see him only 5 seconds...
4- the movie has a lot of CG-scenes which makes a lot of scenes look unnatural and uninteresting.
5- Many actors do not "pull you in"... You just feel they are faking it.
6- You kinda conclude that the whole production was rushing to save money and focusing more on CG instead of the script.
7- The score was great, but the music played on every scene and didn't give you much time to rest. This is very important in editing; Scenes that are without music could be more appealing than those with the underscore.
8- The color palette and lighting of the locations looks the same. (Saturated warm colors with blue kickers)- unlike the diversity of soft colors in LOTR.
9- Bilbo looks like he's playing baseball... running and informing others without fear or caution.
Overall: I expected a lot of the third sequel but I was left disappointed. It was an entertaining soulless CG movie. I have to admit that I liked a lot of scenes, but I disliked the overall hierarchy of the script.
