its a film Jim, but not as we know it.....

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2014)

I am giving this film 8 because I was sat in comfy chair with stupid glasses on.
The Good - the story has been wrapped up and the films all link to together and in about a years time I will have 6 special edition box set DVD's on my shelf. The artwork is as usual flawless and some of the scenes are just breath taking. Some of the acting is fantastic.
The Bad - Legolases amazing Mario style brick jumping abilities (the expression on his faces "Sh@t..I am ACTUALLY doing this!) and joystick troll skills. An elf can do all that and still not get a peep at the hilariously bad love story with its woeful conclusion. Billy Connelly the CGI dwarf....from the team that brought you the complexities of Gollum they present you with CGI plastic Connelly....on a massive Goat. Honestly, G-Man from half life had more character in his expressions.
There are good parts and some glaring bad parts. In all it was a fun and enjoyable experience but it could have been done sooooo much better. The entire film just felt rushed and I, like many others, will be hoping the extended cut provides a more filling experience.
