Good riddance to bad rubbish - excruciatingly drawn out

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2014)

The fiery dragon wreaking havoc is good. But then things start to get sleep inducing again. Whenever Bilbo comes on it just gets so boring. As for the fighting I gave up figuring out who is fighting whom for what. The story isn't enough for 2 and a half hours. There is less impact due to the split into 2 parts. Don't feel for any of the characters. The greed of the dwarfs, the love affair. Big mistake. The large scale battles were excessive in their CGI and uninvolving. The individual battles were better. Legolas fight on the bridge thing was good. However it was so irritating having Evangeline Lily's character distract her dwarf boyfriend and kind of causing his death. Luke Evans as the concerned father is a good plot to have developed but then it kind of loses it's thread.
Watch this if you have to but it's just good riddance to bad rubbish
