Better

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2014)

Well, I went to see this film with no aspirations or expectations at all. Although not sticking to the book,I found myself quite amused most of the time, not touched like LOTR's though.The film's pace was OK. I wasn't as troubled as I ought to be by book to screenplay-changes (Thorin's death, Tauriel's(fake)love-story,...),because I wanted to give this film a chance.There were just to many anger issues: the armored goats from out of nowhere,the brothering in midst of a fight till the death,a tale of a Hobbit who wasn't real in this film somehow,lack of character development,Eagle's to late,.... I guess if I hadn't read the book, I'd give it a higher rating. But I did, being disloyal to Tolkien doesn't pay Mr Jackson. But I can look past this all. Galadriel was..... AWESOME. She's an Elf BABE. No just kidding. I'm not looking past it all, though Galadriel is a babe. But that's just me liking her a lot.
