Query: A disappoinment on so many levels

Poor character development, simplified drawings, jumpy animation, bizarre editing choices, weak adaptation. And to end the story in the middle and NOT produce a sequel is tantamount to a felony!For Tolkien-addicts: a true disappointment. For Tolkien-novices: PLEASE read the original... it's better, deeper, stronger, faster...
