![]() Let me start by saying I was very excited for this film and ultimately let down. I debated a 1 star rating, but defaulted to 2 stars because I think my expectations may have made the experience even worse. I thought I was the target audience of this film as a LoTR junkie and a massive fan of anime. Turns out the target audience was neither of those but instead fans of Disney princesses. Condensing down the grand scale of Tolkien's world into a story about a spoiled brat, who doesn't want to play her role as princess and rather fight with swords. Don't get me wrong - that plot doesn't always result in a bad story. If this was well written it could have been the LoTR version of "Princess Mononoke." Except it's not well written...The characters are all one dimensional. Even a powerhouse like Brian Cox couldn't bring enough life to the story. Even stealing the LoTR soundtrack couldn't save this... Can't believe I hyped this up so much. A re-watch is inevitable, but I'm not looking forward to it.
