I wrote quote a longer review and posted it on Charred but I'll sum up my thoughts a bit.
The CGI for the movie was good in parts, lackluster in others, brief in many instances and lacked any artistic beauty.
The acting was overdone except for the dwarf.:-)
The score was just plain bad. The director may be a novice, but that is still no excuse for this movie.
I hope that no one outside the sci-fi/fantasy fan community will not go see The Lord of the Rings just because D&D was such a horrible movie. Hell, even that movie with Tom Hanks about D&D was better!
