Probably too violent for kids and watching extended close-ups of the asexual protagonist gave me the creeps.

Unless, of course, the viewer is in to Tolkien self-absorption "gee will it follow the books exactly 'cause I have read them all a gazillion times". You can hear this type loudly talking the plot and laughing at some hidden dialogue meaning probably talked about ad nauseum in some obscure chat room dedicated to LOR aficionados. But, I could be a little hard on it.

I expected this type of BS from certain sophomorish creeps here on FR. You do not disappoint. I was reflecting on Tolkien's presentation of non-Eros love, and the film's adaptation of it (which, again, is superb) and I literally thought there will be some small minded people, uncomfortable with a presentation of Agape or true love in the Christian, non-Eros sense, that will try to poke fun at this in the film. You make a fool only of yourself.
