Good but misguided

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2012)

I love the Hobbit. Great Book. The film was good but...
The climax of this film comes when Bilbo murders a Goblin and saves Thorin.
Isn't the whole point of the book that Bilbo was non-violent. Isn't sitting out of the battle of five armies the most courageous thing he does in the book? And in this version her murders a Goblin to impress his peers? I think the point of the book is being muddled by the film makers.
The Great Goblin sucked too.
I was engrossed, just worried about the character of Bilbo. He's not an action star. Just a brave man in way over his head.
