What a ride!

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2015)

All these 1 star reviews make no sense at all. All three Hobbit films were an absolute ride!
I concede that the LOTR story was a better one, but this is still great entertainment. I really don't get people getting worked up because it doesn't follow the book exactly, this is a completely different medium!
Martin Freeman won me over with his performance, it's easier to play the chest beating hero or the villain, more difficult to play the everyman character.
I remember when the first trilogy came out and certain fans moaned about this was missing or that was changed. I'm sure when the dust has settled all of these films will be highly regarded.
