Amazing Adaptation That Stays True to the Theme

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2014)

This review contains some minimal spoilers in order To review it properly. Please don't read if you haven't seen the movie...
If you read the book ( not read it 4 years ago) but read it recently you know that the ending isn't going to be "as happy" as the LOTR series...The book leaves a LOT to interpret on what happened at the end. You can't just have a main character die in a movie and not tell how it happened like the book does, or just say oh the dragon is dead someone killed it...
If you had 1 movie the scenes would have been extremely short and rushed like the book was
These 3 movies gave him creative reign to develop a richer story around the theme and characters of the book, rather than the empty/quick feeling the ending of the book had on its loose ends, and in that case it stayed very true to the theme or overall message the book had.
I thought the story hammered home the whole shakespearean type of influence the book briefly touched on, yet it still maintains happy type of feeling, rather than a bittersweet feeling.
I feel that people will mis-interpret plot points in the movie, as a cheesy love scene, enemies that aren't in the book, and just random battle adaptations. But if you read the book first, look at how rushed it is, about how their isn't a lot of information on what should seem like key plot points. Then watch the movie second the whole thing will make you go ooooooooooh I get it.
For this hidden genius that a lot of critics haven't even touched on, I'm giving this a 10/10
You always hear about how the book was better than the movie...In This Peter Jackson made it feel like it was the opposite, and I think that is really damn impressive to do with a movie.
