A lot of action but felt incomplete

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2015)

This action packed finally to the hobbit trilogy felt to me like it was trying to re-imagine the great action packed finally to the lord of the rings trilogy, but it just didn't seem to have the great in- depth story line to back it up. Coming out of the cinema I felt like I had enjoyed the film, but thinking back a lot was left unanswered, like what happened to the lonely mountain? I know all the orcs ran off, I don't know why since they seemed to be doing pretty well and the dwarf king was dead along with his sons. Who would have then stayed there? the 10 remaining dwarfs? and what happened to the arkenstone? Bard seemed to have it the last I remembered but there's no real ending to what happens with it. It was nice to see Bilbo return to the shire but it would have been better to see a bit more of that scene, rather than just literally arriving to all his stuff being sold.
Overall an enjoyable film with a lot of action but could have done with some more complete storytelling in my book.
