Good movie of the book, not worse than other LotR movies

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2013)

Follows the book almost all the time. Peter Jackson put a little love story in it, while the book barely has any female characters at all. Orlando Bloom has a little place in it as well as Legolas, we can see a new Legolas, why he became what he was in the Lord of the Rings, why he hates dwarfs so much. Actors and actresses play well, Peter Jackson did a great job in directing this movie as well. Big LotR fans will love this movie as well, though some people might start to find this movie a bit long with a bit too much repeating throughout the movies. All of all I give it an eight. I like LotR and this was a great movie as well, recommend it to everyone, even if you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings itself, for after all the Hobbit is before the Lord of the Rings in time.
