The critics are out of touch

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2016)

This movie has its faults, mostly with pacing and introducing viewers to the story but overall I found the experience to be enjoyable. I honestly cannot believe the hate that this movie has gotten from reviewers. A lot of backlash has been fired at heavy use of CG however I found it to be above the level of Avatar. The story is enjoyable and comparing it to Lord of The Rings, which all modern fantasy (even Game of Thrones) is derived from is unfair. Jones put a lot of work into this film and it shows. It is a shame that professional reviewers have been this harsh. I wonder if the critics are out of touch and do not know a good movie when they see it. Watching this film after seeing the negative views and complaints has cemented that concern to me.
