I think the production is great, the cinematography good, and the effects amazing. It's just not The Hobbit! Spoiler alerts - Galadriel? Saruman? Sauron as the eye? Radaghast? The elf maid? Romance? The lake people's Lord? And where was the Goblin army? It's Orcs, Men, Elves, Goblins and Dwarves. Fun fantasy film with some nice ideas. yes. the Hobbit? I think not.
It's just not an attention grabber. I've watched it a couple of times (just now being one) and it just doesn't hold my attention. No doubt it's a big production with a bug budget, etc!
