I know it's prolly gonna be a bit crap but the FPS-like scene-clips raised a smile.

I say the trailer. I, of course, mean a trailer.

I like the end, where 'The Rock' starts up his chainsaw.

It's your compensation for having all those hobbits, wizards, ogres, big monkeys, lions, witches and wardrobes running around all over the place eating your sheep.

yeah, it's not as bad as it used to be. when i landed in UK, movies were nearly a year behind the rest of the world. now, it's down to about 6-9 months.

it's a deliberate tactic, btw. monopolies are legally defend-able in the uk, and the cultural sluggishness means multinationals can charge way over the odds for the same product in the uk, without anyone complaining. e.g. renault global makes over 50% of its profit from the uk, despite selling only a tiny fraction of its goods here.
