Only for violent entertainment

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2014)

There are many reviews say that this movie sucks. To my point of view, this one is just some kind of Marvel's Superhero. The ending contains much death, and almost the film is fighting scene. Fighting, combating, destroying, killing, and so on. Just for entertaining purpose, to whom like the kind of violence and ancient fantasy.
The character developing is not too bad, but a bit rushed. Tauriel and Kili: that escalated quickly. Just like teen crush. And ended with Kili's death. Too much death. The epopee needs to be woeful and majestic, and glories also mean many soldier perishing. The things come next is the sorrow of wars. Families break, and Legolas got friendzoned.
The scenes are so fake, generated by computers. Too shocking and dazzling, not as both imposing and mild as like in LOTR. The technology improves too fast, the nature is being left behind.
I won't say this movie sucks, but it's true doesn't left much in me. Just watched and forgot it right the next day. But as a Tolkien fan, I can't let myself miss any stuff. Consider going to cinema or buying DVD, if you still prefer Peter Jackson's style on LOTR....
