Great finale, if you watch it with open mind.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2014)

This movie was a great finale to the Hobbit trilogy. Yes, there are a few drawn out battle sequences, too much CGI, and little plot, but what'd you expect it to be? People seem do despise it because of the CGI, the overly-embellished story because they compare it to the Lord of the Rings. It is not as good as the Lord of the Rings even remotely, but that's because it's a children's book. Even though Peter Jackson has made some controversial decisions, he has still pulled off what no other directed could do. He brought Middle Earth to life once again. I urge you to watch it. It has great acting and amazing directing techniques. The finale of the Hobbit is a movie that you either love or hate. Personally, putting all the CGI and filler aside, it was a great end to the Hobbit trilogy.
