How to expand a story to make money

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2014)

This movie makes no sense , pure profit making material where the writes took no limits on their creativity (which wasn't that good need to add).
The battle was lame with many inaccuracy in certain scenes ( Where those rams came from?). There wasn't a need for this movie and I don't feel the director put his heart this time as he usually did. Also, they went to faraway with Legolas' battle scenes; everybody in the cinema started laughing because of the CGI abuse. I don't want to enter in details, but the side stories were full of loopholes and they didn't contributed to anything in the main plot. Don't forget those last word of the elves about love... seriously?
