Dissatisfied

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2015)

I could not sit through this entire film! I went into the movie theatres with high expectations, as I am a huge Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit fan and expected much more from Peter Jackson so I ended up leaving 45 minutes into the movie. For some reason I felt as though this one was wasn't as good. Almost as if I was watching a play vs. an actual movie. Everything seemed very fake and scripted (Especially Smaug). I do plan to finish watching it eventually but am scared it will ruin the series for me. Who knows, maybe my judgement was off that day. Until then I will continue re-watching Lord of the rings and my favourite- the Desolation of Smaug! So from what I've seen so far I would give this film a solid 6/10. Cheers!
