Horrible, exaggerated, cheesy, pompous, sacrilege

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2014)

This movie is the worst adaptation of Tolkien books so far. We expect a few alterations compared to the original book and the Tolkien world, but not this sacrilege of an elf loving back a Dwarf. This is absurd. Nowhere in Tolkien universe there is recorded an elf and dwarf Union. Only dwarfs may be taken aback by the beauty of elves and maybe even loving them, but not the other way around.
There were a lot of useless stories just to allow the book to span over three movies. The dialogs are so cheesy and cliché that you just want to throw up 70% of the movie. Which is more than half full of cheap CGI. And this leads to the worst representation of orcs in the movies. Really..... orcs marching in formation wearing similar armor and taller than men? Not to mention the gargoyle looking bats and the earth worms. And the Eagles at the end....
And huge strategic mishaps, like in the battle placing the army of men (the lake town people) right in the middle of the formation. Which happens again when Thorin and the rest of the dwarfs sheltered in the mountain, decide to drop off all their armor and charge out in the battle to save their friends, again in the front middle of the formation. That's what you always do. Place your weakest element in the front middle of a battle formation.
I am glad this is over and I hope that this drama does not repeat itself in the future with other Tolkien adaptations.
