People reviewing this as a 1 star wouldn’t be happy with anything less than completely lore accurate story with an animation budget that would rival that of a normal film.
I love LOTR and have read the books several times and I found the film enjoyable. I liked how they fleshed out a part of the world we didn’t know much about and think the story was fine. Not all I hoped it could have been, but not bad at all. I hope they do more of this in future.
