Fantastic second installment

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2013)

This movie is just about everything I ever wanted from a Hobbit film. Although it has quite a bit of elements that wasn't in the original book. I personally didn't find it to tarnish the story, and didn't take away from the whole experience. This has plenty of orcs slashing, magical powers, dwarf fights going all out, stealth, romance and dragon fighting. Oh and Legolas who wasn't mention in the book, using Elvish combat like he never used before in a film. Plus it has Evangeline Lilly as another made up character for the movie as Tauriel (who in my opinion is the most attractive female character to appear in Middle-Earth on screen). This is a fantastic movie which I thoroughly enjoyed, although the end or the climax seems to be dragged out a bit. Just about everything good about this movie is topnotch. I wouldn't mind seeing this one again. Oh and also when it comes to Legolas's dad, I thought he was a jerk until one of my friend gave me more insight on the Elvish way of life, their purpose and the way they do things. How they really have connections with Middle-Earth and how the natural environments have their backs. Anyways this is a amazing movie that is one of the top movies of 2013.
9.2/10
