a bit exaggerated, no? [In reply to] Can't Post
Thanks for replying in detail, and it´s not that AUJ is without its flaws.

There are some marked differences between AUJ and for instance FoTR, and I can understand that these differences might come off as grating or unappealing if you wanted a closer resemblance to the look of the trilogy.

I think it´s quite obvious that FoTR has its fair share of technical hoo-ha, though. What about the rather forced camera diving from the top of Orthanc, or following Legolas´arrow killing an orc in Moria just to name a couple of things. It doesn´t descend to the level of Goblin Town, but besides the script and the score I don´t find the general level of film making more impressive in FoTR than in AUJ.

I might have seen a different version of AUJ than you - I think I´ve only seen the ordinary 3D, not the HFR-version, and after that the 2D-version. I found the bright colours mostly rich and vibrant and more appropriate for a story which actually starts in May and features a greater sense of adventure and anticipation on the part of the protagonist, while Frodo´s journey from the start is fraught with fear and a sense of being forced by circumstances.
