Mediocre and far from Tolkien

Rating: 1/10 (11 December 2013)

I agree with most reviewer, that this is by far the worst movie so far, the elvish couple and kids-channel atmosphere destroys the many good and great scenes and creates and ambiguity that never leaves you. Also the fact that the whole atmosphere is gloomy does come through, but since the story line is so muddied up is fancy ninja elf-clowns fights it's hard to not feel cheated. I wanted to love and adore and worship this movie, instead I left hoping they would remake it and make it right..guess it was because they needed more money and had to make 3 films, so they invented some crap and put a bunch of kung-fu fighting elves in it after testing it on an audience of high school kids.
