EXACTLY AS EXPECTED. That's what disappointed me.

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2014)

So this is it, the last part of the hobbit trilogy and whilst being enthralling and vibrant throughout the whole 2 hours and 20 minutes, it did not blow my mind. Not because there wasn't enough blood or enough emotion but because all of it was expected.
As soon as the second sequel ended with the dragon flying off the mountain, it was evident that it would set the whole town on fire and most probably be killed by Bard who will finally fulfill his descendant's unfinished work (not being able to kill the dragon with the arrow.) As the movie progresses, it is expected that all the armies will join in battle together for the commonwealth of protecting the world against the orcs and whatever else Sauron put in his army. Also anything regarding Thorin, couldn't have been more anticipated. The fact that he gets "the sickness" and gets over it after a few days is almost prophesied. Thorin is my love so at least he died like the heroiest of heroes; which was also expected.
Walking into the cinema, I had a small hope it would exceed these expectations. Again, it could have been more mind blowing and less rushed after Thorin's death. LIKE HOLD THE F*** UP for a second THORIN THE SON OF THE TRAIN THE SON OF THROR dies and we mourn his death in the movie for about 5 minutes and then the movie's over. I felt like they just wanted to end it as soon as they could, but when your king dies you don't just smoke pot and smile after it. Moreover regarding the magic... SAURON's and Galadriel's part in the whole movie lasts at most 10 minutes. I feel like the narrative there could have been developed so much more, as well as the part with the ring. I know that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is meant to do that but still.
Just to conclude, the last movie of the Middle Earth Saga could have done so much better and could have had many more twists contributing to a remarkable end, but oh well. I still enjoyed it, teared up throughout it and still would recommend watching it to anyone and it still has a better love story than Twilight.
