action packed movie

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2014)

First off, I am a die hard lotr fan and I loved the first two Hobbit films. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. If you are looking for 2 hours of battle scenes from middle earth, this is it! The Gandalf story line sets ties in these movies to the lotr franchise while the rest of the movie is basically all fighting. It is not in the same caliber as The Two Towers or The Return of The King but is exciting and enjoyable in its own right. As expected great visuals, beautiful score and Bilbo's facial expressions are hilarious. There are various tie ins to the lord of the rings like Gimli's helmet as well as Bilbo's return to the Shire give fans lots of things to freak out about. It is bitter sweet to see this movie as the last journey into Peter Jackson's interpretation of Middle Earth. Definitely a must see if you are a fan of the series.
