Not good. Really not good.

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2016)

This was really actually bad. So bad, I'm not even going to go into it deeply. I'll just list my least favourite aspects: Tauriel, Legolas, the fight scenes, Thorin, the clichés, the trailer, the war, the ridiculously impossible stunts done by the elves, the whole movie to be honest. So, let me get this right, Legolas struggled to kill 50 Urukai in LoTR, but took out at least 500 orcs on screen in this movie??? What happened between the Hobbit and LoTR? Did he just get old and lost his ability to take out 500 victims in one fight? That can't be it, because let's assume he's better than average in fighting for an elf, wouldn't like 10 average elves be able to take out an entire army on their own? Just imagine what that army at Helm's Deep could've done. They would've obliterated the Urukai long before the Rohirim arrive. Sorry guys, but this was a poorly-conceived movie even if you like epic fight sequences. Boooooring.
