I thought I was enjoying it as I watched and then the ending just kind of snapped me into reality.

Spoiler!

Was it as good as the trilogy? No and that's not a fair comparison. On it's own, stacked up against Spiderman reboot 1000, Superman reboot 404 billion, yes it's amazing. Vs any of the LOTR movies it certainly left me wondering what went wrong. A lot of unanswered questions and general sloppiness, and I can see why critics don't seem to be getting on board.

I did like a number of things but overall I think I've left fairly disappointed. Maybe after I sleep this off I'll feel better about it.

I really think the giant eagle/falcons are a huge lazy plot device. I found myself once again muttering under my breath on the walk to my car "they should just be starting the damn movies with these huge birds and save everyone the trouble of hours of walking".
