Just saw it

that's great to hear!

I saw it Wednesday evening and thought it was on the whole a very enjoyable movie. I expected to not find much in it to enjoy but overall I was very pleased. As always with these sorts of things I left Tolkien at the door and went in with no expectations.

Waiting for the small screen for this unless it ends up at my local independent cinema. I think I'll be more forgiving of the animation on a TV (or smaller screen). I definitely feel the lack of publicity for the movie and limited distribution does point to this having mostly been made to satisfy rights retention for New Line.

I don't think you'll lose much from the shift to a smaller screen. Daylight scenes are quite rough to be fair. As I said I enjoyed it, though I don't believe it really was a movie which needed to be on the boy screen at this time. Especially coming up against other movies which are far more interesting visually.
