I just finished watching these movies for the first time literally hours ago.
They are beautiful visually but fail on every level of storytelling.
The whole movie was long flowing landscape shots with music swells and battles that were boring.
There was no discernible plot, just elves walking and occasionally running or flying in the forest, or a field sometimes. The world failed to establish any rules or explain itself adequately.
The movie lurched from set piece to set piece and lacked the connective tissue of storytelling.
In the modern vernacular, the whole movie is payoffs with no setups.
