Great, but not excellent

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2012)

I had high expectations, since I am a massive Tolkien fan, and I left the cinema happy. I'm glad that Piter made this movie with "childish" humor, since the book is written in a very different way than the LOTR. The scenery is (again) amazing, and in my opinion Andy Serkis gave his best performance ever! However, to someone who doesn't know what this film is about, it would seem that Dwarfs are the main carracters, and Bilbo is left behind. The thing that I most dislike is the scene when Dwarfs sing Far over the misty mountins... That's probably the best theme this year, and it seems it was put in the movie with no care, like: "Ok, we need to put this in, oh, here's the good spot!" But it wasn't! All in all, surely a MUST SEE movie. 8/10
