Horrible

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2014)

These three movies have almost no relationship to the book.
The many added sub plots are just idiotic.
The extras in this one aren't even acting, they just kind of run through the scenes...like... hey cue the extras...and these dudes in ill fitting armor run through with little purpose and out again.
It's just awful. Probably not as awful as the second one, where the company is floating around unharmed in molten metal in metal 'boats' ... but almost as bad. Bad CGI. Bad sound design. Bad music, and so on.
Someone should make a movie of the Hobbit, but this ain't' even The Hobbit at all.
It's really a shame too, because the main actors are not at fault, they are quite good, yes including all the added characters, and with decent direction/scripting this could have been a good 1-2 movies..but certainly not 3.
