These "fanboy" opinions seem to be genuine. There is merit and worth in looking at reviews and valuing their worth. They are not cause for concern if one is not concerned about them. They are only cause for concern is someone is concerned about them. Their value cannot truly be measured. If a lot of people were really digging the movie (and a lot of people are) I would still wonder if I'm going to like the movie. Why? Because it's happened to me before. There's been movies with heaps of praise that I couldn't care less for. And there's been movies that have been panned that I love. That's right, LOVE. So, this is why you cannot come down from on high and tell me what I should and shouldn't be concerned with. This is all the fuzzy warm indistinct land of opinion where the ground moves beneath one's feet. Now, if you choose to be concerned, that's fine. But don't pretend we're all ignoring something like the Germans bombing London. This is what the message board is for, to react to criticism and opinion. It is not an altar to kow-tow to opinion consensus.
-Tim came by. Tim! If you had heard only a quarter of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale.

Was it made for fans of the story or fans of Peter Jackson, though? I love most of the clips I have seen
