Hastily made, with characters that are too fast, too capable, and unreal in almost everything they do. No realism, in an unrealistic world. You say, that's middle earth; well, I say that the Lord of the Rings was great, and realistic for what it was. In the beginning, the dwarves broke out into a rendition of Oklahoma with eyes in the back of their heads, utilizing the nimble hands of elves, whilst handling dozens of plates and cups at the same time. The rope ladders were a plenty, with harrowing escapes each time they went from disaster to disaster, with the speed of olympic sprinters; finally falling over a hundred yards into the abyss without anyone getting a scratch much less realistic hurt. Even the fight with the trolls was a sham: their ferocity was a joke, and the computer graphics gave unrealitic confusion with no one getting hurt. You say that this is a make believe world, but I say that the Lord of the Rings was right on the money with a realistic look to it. This movie is a "B" movie that has suckered everyone into paying unbelieveable prices out of ignorance. Oh well, they have our money now; now they can sit back an realize, just like they have known for a while now, that even if what they do is no good they still become rich for it. There is a lack of accountability in hollywood now, with some of the worst moves in history being made. No imagination, coupled with greed makes for a lucrative living.
Pros better than nothing i guess, could have dropped ten dollars on the sidewalk
Cons circus capabilities and super human attributes, unrealistic confusion, excessive computer wizardry
