Review 4K Movie

First of all, I appreciate and respect anime, and in general, this format is a real asset to the movie. I can't imagine how such a story would have seen the light of day in any other form. Although some people say that here you can see the budget 3D or there is a lower frame rate - I don't pay attention at all.

Also in the advantages of the movie can be written down faithfulness to the canon. There are no fictional entities, sudden new wizards or black-skinned dwarves. (Though the habit of everything in a row on Tolkien necessarily to stick the search of rings for hundreds of years before the events of VK somewhat scratches the eye every time).

Well, the work of the artists and composers is also a plus, and while it rests on the shoulders of Howard Shore and Alan Lee, a great deal of their work is visible.

Now for the major and glaring minus.

Despite the fact that the plot is based on the Professor's notes, but man! Couldn't it have been presented in some other way?

Honestly, I've rarely felt so little sympathy for the characters when watching anything. My only wish was that all these assholes would kill each other sooner, so I could find out how it ended. This is a rare achievement for me to not even the slightest empathy caused no one, I can not even remember when it was. It's also surprising that despite this, the movie somehow hooked me enough to finish watching it.

In the end, the movie can be recommended, but you might as well not watch it - you won't lose anything, only you won't know a bit of the backstory of Middle-earth.
