Man oh man was this bad,after having very high hopes for this trilogy I must say I was extremely dissapointed in every single aspect.First of all I will elaborate on why I didnt like this film (if some "ringnut" doesnt try to attack me).Okay, first the direction was very shaky and all over the place, the close up shots were way to close up and the film seemed to go all over the place without even being comprehensible.Peter Jackson was definately not the right man for this job, lets remember that this was the man that was just barely making good cult films such as Dead Alive and Bad Taste (both of which were much better I might add).I knew this was going to be really really bad when Frodo flew in Gandolf's lap rather gay and boyishly.And the so called FX looked like a slightly more modern update of the ones that were used in Spawn.Must be New Line Cinema..anyone knows how awful this company's track record has been.I truly am surprised that this film is ranked up there with the greats when it doesnt even come close to being as good as say Big Trouble In Little China.I guess it just goes to show how ignorant our movie-going public is today and how easily led they are.This movie is like a pretty picture with absolutely no substance.I was actually wanting all of the Hobbit's to get killed because they annoyed me so badly.Which reminds me, how can anyone in their right mind take Sean "Encino Man" Astin seriously?Every time I saw his awful presence on the screen I was looking for Pauly Shore to come running up beside him.Pauly Shore would have actually not hurt this film at all.This movie was also way too long, 40 minutes into this disaster I had no idea where i was or where the film was going.And the ending was just laughably bad, considering Hobbit's are very short their arm's extended about 30 feet under the water for a very cheesy rescue.I could go on and on about how much this sucked and I am not doing this for attention or to be different.I know others who think the same way.This film embodies awful.The editing and the direction was very sloppy, an amateur film maker could have done a much better job.This convinces me that Peter Jackson sucks.Goodbye
