i hated that movie. with passion. it has to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen - from a story point of view. the computer graphics, though, were obviously good. i guess i wasn't as disappointed with the first two episodes because they seemed like a gentle preface into the real story - which never actually happened. although, in fairness, there's no substitute for reading the book (yet) .. the imagination is simply far too advanced, compared to movies.
basically, there was no decent story. just mindless, random, childish inventions. i suppose i most most disappointed by the lack of realism. i don't mean to say fictional characters/places are bad - no - but the way they were portrayed .. it was just waaay too mindless, unrealistic, and childish .. everything was always over-simplified .. the good guys always won .. there were no "gray" characters .. only pure good and pure evil .. .. no dilemmas .. just mindless "kill the disgusting orcs" mentality.
i'd give it negative a few stars, if i could.
i probably would have enjoyed it when i was young and stupid .. but not now. i'd compare it to watching teletubbies for 4hrs (which i've never done .. just glanced at)
