My first thought related with the movie: "It is an offense to the book, and to the writer". The only thing that reliefs me, is that the story diverges so much from the original, that, apart from the names, there is nothing that connects the book to the movie.... You can consider the movie a fraud. I will never see nothing from Mr.Stefen M. Fangmeier again... Bad storyline... Bad character interconnection... Bad cuts... Bad soundtrack... Is there some kind of distinction between races in the movie ?? Is there any elves ??? Is there any dwarfs?? How about a map that situates geographically the story ??? Can I have my money back ?
