If I told you all the ways this billion dollar piece of crap wasn't really part of the Lord of the Rings, I would have to flag it all as spoilers because it would cover most of the plot. This thing was a SHAM! Galadriel is one of the greatest characters of fantasy literature, and this abomination has committed the greatest sin of all, to make her BORING!
Instead of the wonderful, subtle growth of a character, we get the Mulan Live Action instant ultimate woman fantasy of Galadriel being the instant kick ass warrior. That is a cheat to the viewers and to girls everywhere who don't learn how to struggle and overcome.
For that much money, I would have thought they could get some better actors. The cast was definitely disappointing. I've seen worse, but not for that kind of money.
In addition, the production just looks wrong. I looked at a number of scenes and it finally hit me. They botched integrating the lighting directions of the CGI backgrounds and the live action people. Shadows run in the wrong directions. It's really obvious once you notice it. That makes everything look ludicrously amateurish, like amateur Star Trek fan video amateurish.
I really wonder where the heck that billion dollars went. It's not on screen, that's for sure.
Don't waste your time and money on this trash. Watch Peter Jackson's version instead. That had magic. The Amazon version just stinks like a turd.
