Oh please people, get a life!!! This movie is THE SINGLE BIGGEST disappointment of the year. The first forty minutes or so when there was a plot and things moved right along, this was an interesting movie. Then it fell into a cesspool of how many monsters could we kill. Come on, the Lord of the Rings is not The Iliad for God's sake! This movie dragged on and dragged on. It is certainly too violent for kids and too stupid for adults. Give it the Oscar for set design and set it on a back shelf to collect dust. I mean, let's face it, our heroes enter a mountain in the midst of a catastrophic blizzard, in their bare feet and come out four days later on barren rock. Just like Harry Potter, another multi-million dollar picture that couldn't hire some goofball to screen for editing errors. BORING with a Capital D!
