It's better than the first one but it's still nowhere near the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I don't want to discuss too much of it because of spoilers (a lot has changed from the book) but there are a lot of problems with this film.
It's shorter than the first part but it feels much longer (especially towards the end which just drags on and on). Some of the sequences feature ridiculous feats of physicality by certain characters which completely takes you out of the film. Some of the changes from the book are totally unnecessary as well.
Other than that... visuals look great for the most part and.... that's about it really.
Feel the same, 'twas grand.
ReplyDeleteHad a... stimulated late night discussion with Aindiriu and Jay about the blog last week, the consensus is it could do with a more friendly look, so I think I might give it a redesign. Maybe go with a black and white template, something minimal, what do you reckon Shane?
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I was thinking that all of ye had given up on it! Haha.
