LOTR meets Teletubbies

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2013)

I "had to watch the movie last night (I didn't see it yet) because we are going to Part 2 today. It's a Christmas Present from my boyfriend's parents.
I absolutely loved LOTR so my expectations were very high, and I got very disappointed. Where LOTR is full of scenes where you can see beautiful surroundings, castles, forests or whatever...the Hobbit (to me) has only one pretty scene, and that's when they arrive at Rivendell.
The "fights" between the Dwarfs/Bilbo/Gandalf and the Orcs, etc were nothing more than some pushing and shoving. LOTR already started in the first movie with an Epic Battle!
What I am most disappointed about is the fact that the Orcs and other evil creatures sound like they came straight from Sesame Street.
I keep my fingers crossed that part 2 is a bit better, otherwise its a waist of time and money
