Review

disappointing, the first one was dull, the second good, and the third you kept wishing it would end. The same cheesey effects are used over and over, slo-motion, face close-up, big landscape shot, point of view creature action. And that's it, so so repetitive, without visual wit despite the wondrous battles scenes, landscapes, and cities (even they all seem to be the same, medieval gothic on mountains). And in fact the battles all have the same structure too, and the landscapes are just NZ. And you feel nothing for the character, just a wish they would all be wiped out so you could go home. In 10 hours you need some new ideas and you need to make people feel some emotions, and this film fails.
