Let me begin by saying that these movies tell an awesome story!! Each movies is a dramatic representation of the themes of JRR Tolkien. In many cases PJ took it to the extreme degree but that was the point. Themes do not mean 'word for word' from the book nor do they mean instant gratification. There are a lot of haters and people who are full of negative comments that rip apart the story and they miss the point of what the film represents. Like JRR T. Books you need to keep patience's and wait for the story to unfold. Like a history lesson or a documentary, that can be not so entertaining for those who cannot see the whole picture. Action sequences are only a piece of the puzzle. I have read the hobbit and all three books of JRR T. They are not a short read and Tolkien is very detailed and wordy so you have to sometimes read a long detailed chapter before you get the picture or the concept of what he is trying to say. The movie is the same way. Peter J. Tried to keep this vision going. Many reviewers just rattle off sections of the film to purposely degrade everything JRR T. Stands for. This is not fair to the books and lifetime that JRR T. Spent. Give middle earth it's due. If you are one of those people that dislike all 6 movies, give others a chance to make that decision for themselves.

Brilliant performance! Its a classic for ever. Recommended family movie.

Excellent introduction into myths, where they come from, how they interact with the human condition and how cultures are different with there own stories yet we all are connected in many ways. Awesome watch! Keep an open mind. The show is meant to give perspective! Wish there was a second series!

The series, takes the old star trek and re-kindles it again! The plot is awesome and keeps old elements of the series going. I have read critiques that state that the acting is so so and I do not feel that is the case. The perspective is to tell a story not to criticize each actors sense of worth. I think all the actors do a great job. The new series satisfies what die hard fans are looking for!! I would give it more stars if I could. I cannot wait to see how the series continues!
