This is a really good movie since I saw The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Amazing story!

It was a good movie which kept me entertained and would recommend to friends.

My partner is IN this movie and even she thinks very little of it. This is the PERFECT movie for the casual film going audience. If you like a simple story with some nice visuals to look at then you'll love this. Typical book-to-screen adaptation stuff. Dig a little deeper however and this movie will do very little for you. This is very much a cliche, generic, by the numbers story. Forgettable characters in a fantastic fictional world. Without a big name like Sir Peter Jackson behind this project I'm sure it would have ended up like hot garbage (Looking at Ready Player One and Divergent). It feels like a movie made by people who passionately love the novels but forgot to bring that to the screen; the world building feels flat, resorting to characters just saying the names of things that exist somewhere out there, then moving on like nothing happened. The cast do great but are ultimately wasted in their basic level roles. A fun time if you're not looking form anything too deep. The best part about this movie is the AMAZING opening scene (mostly showed in the trailers and marketing).
