Actually disappointing..

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2015)

I haven't read all the hobbit book and for years, so can't point out discrepancies in that way, yet it was still disappointing. The desolation of smaug felt like a long journey with a variety of scenes and events, culminating in a great finale between Bilbo, the dwarfs and smaug. In the this one however there aren't really any memorable scenes, it felt rushed, and shorter, it felt it lacked variety and left some questions unanswered. I felt like I mainly watched the battle of the 5 cgi armies, and it weren't quite a battle like any in the LOTR trilogy.
Toy Story 3, Pixar didn't release the 3rd until about 10 years later and it was perfect. Peter Jackson though normally in form with everything had this trilogy released yearly, it's worth watching bit don't expect to be blown away, for a finale it isn't amazing.
