Awful what a shame as well.

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2015)

You know I really loved the Lord of the rings and thought it brought the fantasy genre to light and the CGI back then was just coming into light, so effectively the Lord of the rings was the first movie to really use the CGI. What's disappointing and what I still can't figure out is how is it that a movie made in 2014 has worse CGI than a film made with half the budget 13 years ago!! It's a disgrace frankly that it was even released. I feel Jackson got fed up with making things as epic, huge scale, and beautiful as the Lord of the rings film as he was lazy and couldn't be bothered so he just lets use green screen and let's use below average CGI. Acting wasn't great Apart from freeman who I've always liked. Not much war, didn't explore the Eagles and beorn enough and the comedy is out of place and only there as a way to cover the rubbish movie you are watching. I have thought all the hobbit movies are awful but this movie really is the nail in the hobbits coffin.
