I think like everybody I watched the triology hoping to get the same affection as Lord of the Rings but did I get it: NO
Because: the biggest problem is that it does not create the feeling that you are in the movie. I watched it as a cartoon.
Another problem is that Gandalf does not have the control, even Aragorn in Lord of the Rings could not get before the role of Gandalf
Scenes were created for the sake of the filling any gap, forexample in one scene suddenly an elf on the horse appears before Legolas summoning him to their country. Well at least they have showed him coming on the road in the far away camera before appearing.
Another problem was composing, the music stole away the seriousness of the movie turning it into combination of the scenes where the outcomes were predictable.
In the end, after watching the triology I had to check the director to see if he was the same Peter of Lord of the Rings.
