It was pretty much as I expected it to be. Enjoyable but not great and suffering from the same flaw as the book: way too much filler. The animated sequence for the 3 Brothers story is fabulous, as previously noted, and may have been the best part of the movie. Simply put, this would have been better as a 3.5-4 hour epic like RotK with some judicious editing. Splitting it into two pieces (and having one or both of the pieces still be 2.5+hours) is greedy and sloppy.
