biggest disappointment in a Long Time!

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2013)

Before watching the hobbit, I had read a few reviews of it, mainly here on IMDb, saying its very accurate to the book. Sounds wonderful I thought, having loved the book the Hobbit, way more than I liked the others of J.R.R Tolkien.
Now the people saying this was closely based on the book, did you guys see the same film that I saw? I think I counted somewhere around 7-8 quite clear references to events in the book, however the events in the film can not be said to have been based on the ones in the book, they hinted at them at best.
The storyline was reduced to a quite impressive amount of excuses to add action-scenes. and the characters seem thin, undeveloped. the adventurous feel that needs to be there just wasn't. the music seemed "glued" on to the film,instead of that majestic feeling of drama the music is supposed to inspire, I couldn't help imagining the orchestra in a room playing away to a small screen in the corner.
cant say I'm THAT impressed with the acting neither, not that they act badly, the actors just don't get a chance to do their thing between running from orcs and getting eaten by wargs.
