    It was better than the first one, but suffered from the same problem of trying to create an epic story out of a short children's book. I thought the best part was the beginning, the shapeshifter and forest scenes before they got too carried away with big action sequences and stuff flying around in 3D.

    The original LOTR movies created a world that was fantasy but still felt real. This felt more like being inside a video game.

    One thing you can say for sure, Tolkein would have hated it.
