I saw it today and I thought it was good but not great. The acting was well above average for a fantasy film, and lots of the visualisation was very fine.
What let it down was that they rushed through the story at bewildering speed, but also, that the score just wasn't a patch on LotR. It was cheesy bog-standard "fantasy epic" stuff. It's when you don't have it that you realise what a difference a really stirring score can make.
