Not a fan. It doesn't feel like it's part of the LOTR's world at all, the casting inconsistencies are comical, and the costumes and sets look just like costumes -no realism. They make a bunch of scenes way more dramatic than they should be, and good gravy they love their slow motion scenes! Way to many of those! Even if it had nothing to do with LOTR's, it's just kind of boring, nothing is "wowing" me.
