wait for the DVD so you can be disappointed in peace

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2014)

I have been a fan of Tolkins work for many years and was thrilled when the Lord Of The Rings were being made into films. When they were done I consoled myself by saying surly Mr Jackson will make The Hobbit, and indeed he did. The first two movies were great, nothing superb but a good watch. However. This last one was all over the place...
-There was sooo much CGI that it became more video game than film. Bilbo was very inconsistent in height throughout the film.
-There were no funerals for Thorin, Fili or Kili. Which is a semi plot hole as Thorin is buried in the mountain with the Arkenstone on his chest (which seemed to have vanished!) - What the hell happened in the end? I have read the books but the end was lest far open. Who is now king under the mountain? what happened the Bard and Dale? Thorin's cousin? What did the rest of the company do? -Don't get me started on Tauirel and Kili, it was stupid and unnecessary.
-Legolas ran out of arrows? Elves have magical arrows that replenish themselves.
-Thorin and his cousin were able to stop and chat in the middle of the battle? really? and those mountains goats were oddly convenient.
The list goes on, but all in all I was very upset, it is as if Peter Jackson was sick of if by the end and just gave up.
