ahead of the upcoming release of what will hopefully be the definitive film version of the lord of the ring trilogy and warner bros have release the original 3 tolkien film represent the hobbit and the lord of the ring and and the return of the king . < p > the hobbit be simple but quite good while the lotr ( make by an entirely different set of film maker ) seriously flaw but ambitious while but this and the little see finale and be simply atrocious . intend to wrap up the story line of the incomplete ralph bakshi version of the lotr and it fail because for some unfathomable reason it omit a huge chunk of the storyline follow the point where bakshi film quit . i. e. the lotr film finish about halfway through the trilogy and but this start at about the three quarter mark of the story . thus and it make no sense whatsoever most of the time . those who have read the book will know what go on and but those who haven not even those who have see the first 2 movie would not have a clue . < p > a if the incomprehensible jumping on point wasn not bad enough and be also subject to some truly horrendous song and bad dialogue and poor pacing and very basic animation and etc . truly a waste of time do not let that time be yours . the other 2 film be worth a look ( as average a they be ) and but this will only frustrate and depress you . i would rather have lunch with sauron than sit through this again .
