Fans of this series will watch it regardless, those that aren't won't. My son loved it, I thought it was OK.

"This was the last move in a master plan. A plan long in the making." After the dragon comes down from the mountain and is defeated the armies of darkness rise. Sides are chosen and armies are formed. Bilbo (Freeman) tries to settle things down, but its not as easy as he hoped it would be. This is a movie that is review proof. If you have seen and loved the other movies in this saga then you will watch this. If you have had no interest in any of them, this won't be the first one you start with. As for me, I have watched all of them, but never was really interested in them. My son loves them, and he was actually the one that was filling me in on what happened in the last few movies. The effects are great, and the 3D is amazing in this, but this is just not a genre or series I can get into. That said, my son loved it. Overall, fans of this series will watch it regardless, those that aren't won't. I give it a B.
