Stunning!

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2015)

No matter what people say, this movie was thrilling and stunning. The problem is - people are comparing it to LOTR. THE HOBBIT IS NOT LOTR!!! If everyone had watched this film before LOTR, every one would love it. Stop thinking of it as not what it is! It has very deep character development, and even characters that you only see for a few minutes are great - like Dain. Peter Jackson really did do a good job. Yes, some of the effects were unrealistic, but the battle itself was amazing - rivalling the Battles in RotK. There are some truly epic moments too - when Thorin pulls himself together and charges forward, Dwarfs behind him. When the Dwarfs lock shields in a formation then the Elves jump over the top. When Thranduil skewers like 6 orks. You really must see this film.
I had to write this review - usually people only write reviews because they are angry with the film - and people that liked it don't bother. That is why there are so many negative reviews.
