Released in 2012 and running 169 minutes,this is the first of a "prequel"trilogy to the "Lord of the Rings"trilogy ( think Star Wars) of which I have yet to review.That said,this film is entertaining on its own.While I am not a big fan of CGI,this plays like a video game with tons of violence so I'm not sure its for kids but rather for the kid in us adults.My main problem with the film is it took a little bit too long to take off but once it did it was fairly spectacular.Fans of the Ring series will enjoy seeing some of the characters from there along with a few interesting new ones.So do check it out if you fantasy sword and sorcery fan( think Game of Thrones ).Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
