Criticism of new fantasy film
However, there are also critical voices about a specific new film that is being shown at this time. According to a review on IMDb, the new “Lord of the Rings” film is receiving a scathing review with a rating of just 1-2 out of 10. There are criticisms that the film shows little respect for the original trilogy and that the plot looks more like fan fiction than a worthy successor to the acclaimed 'Lord of the Rings' series. The graphics and acting in particular were heavily criticized: they were inadequate and hardly appealing, a mere parody of the previous films.
The similarities in scenes and dialogue to the original films are perceived as disrespectful and poorly implemented. Overall, the reviewer recommends that this film may just be a pastime for viewers unfamiliar with the history of Middle-earth. However, anyone who appreciates the first-class storytelling and profound world of Tolkien should stay away from this film, as reported on IMDb.
