one big long fight

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2015)

The main problem with this movie is that it seemed like one big, long fight. There wasn't much of a plot, just a lot of computer effects that start to get boring and "armies" going at one another. The Ring hardly has a presence in this film; it should have been used more. The dragon dies in the first 10 minutes and then for some unknown reason, Thorin gets all the gold and the townspeople get none. How come? Thorin didn't rescue the city. And what did the elf King have to do with anything. He helps rescue Gandolph then disappears. There was just too many things like that.
FINAL VERDICT: Perhaps the worst of the franchise. Just don't try to watch it if you are sleepy because you won't make it though till the end.
