What!

Rating: 4/10 (24 March 2013)

Its taken me just under a week to finish watching this on and off Meh!
Lots of running around in the mountains, and getting attacked by ugly creatures... not my cup tea to be honest!
Visually, the movie was stunning, but in my opinion was just a cash cow attempt to re-create the glory days of Lord Of The Rings
Where was the intriguing story? Fair enough you had Bilbo and golum giving each other riddles under the mountain, and Bilbo escaping by means of accidentally putting on the ring, which made him invisible... but other than it being a prequel to LOTF the story again in my opinion was very flat.... bunch of dwarfs loose there home because of a gold hungry dragon - later generations of dwarfs run around trying to re-claim their home...
The conclusion...a butterfly whispered to by a wizard went to notify a big pack of huge eagles to rescue the party from burning tree tops - pretty much how the movie ended!
