While i still think this might not surpass the LOTR franchise, i do believe Peter Jackson once again drive home an epic male journey in his unique style. You'll find yourself connected to a lot of male struggles throughout this movie, some subtle, some obvious, some even make you cry On one hand, you got the Hobbit who never leave his nest, enjoy his books rather than road trip. He thought he had got his life figured out, but the reality is he has been living in a giant doubt about himself, once he hopes to find the answer in the trip On the other, we got the Dwarf King living in anger seeking vengeance over his father's death. Among these two guys' challenges, we got to witness great friendship and sacrifice one could offer another in time of despair
I did not really pay attention to the movie in the first 10 minute or so because i thought the set up was boring and some home i jump to early conclusion that this is just a feast of the eyes no more, and another Narnia movie..but as it progresses to the scene where all the dwarfs soldiers sit silently in front of the fireplace singing a sad tune..I know I'm watching a masterpiece
