Of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit saga, I thought this one was the weakest. It's got action wall to wall from beginning to end but there is so little realism in the action scenes that it left me disengaged most of the time. At times, it was so over the top I thought I was in a James Bond movie. The real clincher for me though is that Peter Jackson chose to write his own story. He wasn't true to the books on so many occasions. Visually I don't think anybody could have done a better job than he did but staying true to what Tolkien wrote is essential to my appreciation and in that, he failed.
