Too much

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2015)

Between the previous episodes and the previews I decided I've had ENOUGH of the Peter Jackson interpretations of this story. Drawn out, irrelevant, and totally devoid of real character development, these three movies have proved to be nothing but glorified action pictures, on par with the Transformer's franchise (ewwwwwwwwww). How could you do this to us, Peter? How could you do this to JRR? LOTR was a spectacle to be seen, this is a debauchery to be avoided. So disappointing. You should have stayed with the original story and enhanced with bits of back-history. Instead this became a Legolas HERO epic. Legolas is not even in the original story, but in your version he over-shadows Bilbo, the real star. I'll be looking at Peter Jackson productions with increased skepticism in the future.
