I know music should enhance the visual but it is more like having audio description on, I know the Shire is a rural idyll without a twee little theme and I don't need a fanfare to understand that the mountain scenery is majestic.

I get what you're saying, but for me it's more than that. I guess we just have to leave it at that and agree to disagree.

The scenery was beautiful, that's for sure. I like the costumes too. Since I'm nitpicky, I always point out that the hair colour is wrong for some characters. But that's really just me being prejudiced against PJ. And it's noting compared to the more major stuff that he put in the movie.
