Reasonably spectacular so as to satisfy your inner child but not quite the same on an adult level. Martin Freeman began to wear me thin with his being adorable and his dithering. The rest of the cast has begun to look long of tooth and much CGI was used on their faces to make them appear younger.I sat there for almost three hours only to be stymied at the conclusion.
This, like all other gazillion dollar serials, compels you to attend to witness the spectacle but just doesn't quite hit the right notes.

Not a Tolkien fanatic...did not know this was another trilogy. There was NO indication something was to follow.
