So many negative comments for such a good movie...

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2014)

Since this movie has been released, I read many bad critics saying about the lack of plot, the attempt of Peter Jackson to extend the plot and to create 3 movies out of 1 book just for the money. Bu...it. The movie is great! The movie is as great as the lord of the rings movies with the only difference that the concept and the characters are not original anymore. So what? I had a great time watching this movie! There were no idle moments, no plot gaps, no other crap I was reading about. The battle scenes are great, there is drama, love, fear, greed and other states of mind when watching the movie. The acting was very good given the circumstances (you do not except shakespearean performance from Ian McKellen when killing an Orc...). It is unfair for this trilogy that the lord of the rings trilogy came first. It is also unfair for Peter Jackson to create such an epic movie and receive all this criticism based on prejudice. 3 movies out of 1 book? How can this be done? It can be done greatly when Tolkin is writing and Peter Jackson is producing.
