Not all who wander are lost.~JRRTolkien Me mum drug me to see it since she thought I needed some cheering up with everything that's happening...
I have to say the Tolkien-lover in me nitpicked the crap out of it until I stepped back and thought of it separate, like I do for the LotR movies. And once I did, I realized I rather loved the movie. Sure, there was waaaaaay too much fighting and the CGI was disappointing at points, but in the end, I think I'll watch it again and again, get the extended editions of both the movie and the soundtrack (when I have money again ;w; ), and generally love the crap out of it just like I do for LotR.
And by Elbereth, it's sooooo good to be back in Middle Earth!
Though I have to say something about the actual quality of the movie. The high frame rate, 3D, and XD all made me rather ill. I had to look away several times. Sure, I'm prone to it with my condition, but it was even bothering me mum. Maaaaaaaybe this wasn't such a good idea/some improvement is needed. Quality is awesome, but goodness gracious, if you gotta take off your glasses and take a rest in the middle of the movie, it's kinda making watching the movie in that quality useless...
In the end, I give the movie something along the lines of a 9.5/10. It was awesome, just little things take a tiny little chunk out for the blaring discrepancies between book and movie.
