Over battling makes the plot hollow

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2014)

This film continues the story of Bilbo Baggins and his adventure, after the fierce dragon Smaug is awakened.
As the final chapter of "The Hobbit", I was looking forward to a grand finale that moves mountains. Indeed, there is much action, in fact the whole film is battle after battle. There is very little plot, just lots of killing. The constant over simulation overwhelmed my senses and numbed my responses, preventing me from feeling the poignant ending. In addition, the constant fighting means there's little time to develop an actual plot, making the film rather hollow. I have to say, despite the amazing graphics, I was a bit disappointed by the film.
