UPDATE: Okay that was quick! So the studio seems to have pulled the clip. If it comes back, we’ll repost it here.
So although the reviews are pretty negative so far, Peter Jackson’s newest film still holds a spot on my “I should see this” list. From what I’ve heard, the film gets pretty damn ridiculous in the middle of the narrative but I’m hoping all this bad talk comes from readers of the book whom just didn’t like Jackson’s vision. So do these first five minutes persuade you to go check out the film this weekend?
