most people are missing the point

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2014)

As he did with the Rings trilogy Jackson has greatly improved on the books, for those who criticise him for the big changes he has done, go back and read the hobbit again. it is not a great book, it spends more time describing places and things than it does in plot or characters, people are just mentioned in passing almost. There is no drive to it. Admittedly i think two films would have been sufficient, but at least we get to spend one last time in middle earth. yes there are flaws in this final part, and the battle is very scatty, but it also has some great action and the ending is truly moving, and of course it links very nicely to the fellowship of the ring. lets hope that Star Wars is able to fill the void for next Christmas,
