Too many coincidences and lazy writing

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2019)

After watching the first two parts in the extended versions the time has come for the third one to close up and it disappointed greatly. By the end of the movie I realized that the authors just wanted to bring their story as close to the Lord of the Rings as possible (taking in consideration movies are prequels) but they executed it very poorly. The most powerful and strongest villain gets killed within the first fifteen minutes with a spear. The bravest and most selfless dwarf suddenly turns selfish and greedy only after a small talk to realize he got confused and turns good again. The elves who wanted to start a war because of the necklace only to end up helping everyone else and not getting the necklace after all. The armies that come to the battlefield at just the right time. The stones that pile up so perfectly while falling that the hero can jump on them and save his life. The immortal that falls in love apparently for the first time in god knows how many years she lived already and feels its pain. And the snowball goes on and on. In a word, the whole Hobbit trilogy is absolutely unnecessary to watch because a) its story is NOT interesting one bit, b) the authors simply parasitize on the legacy of the superior movies and c) three movies can be easily turned into one three hour movie without the loss of quality but it still won't be a good movie. The Hobbit is just another cash-grabber like any other sequel/prequel/reboot that's coming out nowadays and doesn't bring anything knew or meaningful to the cinema world whatsoever.
