Didn't Care Too Much

Rating: 4/10 (5 September 2013)

*Contains Spoilers* The film, of course in personal opinion, was too lengthy and dry. Then action, when it happened, was too quick paced and under-choreographed. Additionally the film had (in some places) over animated graphics which looked very phony and ruined any chance at realistic graphics that the movie had. Then when picked up by the giant birds, it is easily noticed how horrid the feather texture was. (In 3D animation, a texture is the image applied to the surface of an object.) Then at the ending of the movie it cuts out the battle with Smaug, only for making a sequel, which should have been just put in this movie with less of the dry pointless time consumed in the beginning. To tell the truth, if I had watched it in theaters when it first came out, I would have demanded a refund for my ticket because of the ending. But the cinematography, besides plot and digital graphics, was rather good. Just for that it has 4 stars. BUT NO MORE.
