If I were Tolkien, I would be busy turning in my grave right now

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2014)

I just finished watching this movie, and it was such a disappointment that I signed up to IMDb just to be able to vote 1 for it. For anyone who didn't read the books, it's a big-budget but just decent fantasy movie. Nothing to get excited about, but it's an okay movie I guess. The acting is OK, the Tolkien parts of the script is awesome, and the added stuff is really cheesy. Animations are pretty good. Smaug could look more scary and less Jar-Jar. Some of the dwarfs should tone it down a bit. Some of them should look like dwarfs.
But for me, who read Tolkiens works as a child, and who loved them dearly, it was just frustrating to watch this. They didn't stop at adding stuff, they even changed events from the book. If you are the kind of person who were bothered that they didn't include Tom Bombadill in the Lord of the Rings, then don't watch this movie. It's worse than just 2 hours wasted. It's painful.
