Why did this movie feel so utterly half assed. Green screens!

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2015)

I was expecting so much more from these movies. They are not even close to what the other LOTR movies were. Its just the only feeling I had during all the three movies was "these movies feels so rushed and somehow, not genuine". Everything felt so empty, like it was thrown together and don't get me wrong, it was still better then most but not even close to the real deal. I never could shake the feeling that this was just thrown together and I think its a side effect of all the green screens and the over endulgment of the CGI. The Green screens that made Ian Mckellen cry because he couldn't act properly, the green screens that replaced EVERYTHING. I respect CGI and green screens but I don't know, the LOTR still tried to do as much as possible without CGI. In this movie, they were just lazy.
