Really makes you long for the better movies

Rating: 3/10 (13 December 2013)

I really didn't care for the first installment of the Hobbit so I was hoping that the second would be better....well it wasn't. From the beginning seen (the one that I had to explain to my grandson, seeing as the two characters had already met) to the end so called cliffhanger this was a really poor attempt to make a dramatic movie. I have been saying from the beginning that Jackson bit off more than he could chew trying to stretch this simple book into more than one movie. This middle movie is a perfect example of this stories short coming as a series. It was boring, then there was a battle, then more boredom. The dialog was a rehash and the music. I just couldn't get past the really awful music. Must is supposed to enhance a movie not work against it. I am really not looking forward to the next one. Maybe I'll wait till its on DVD or cable if this keeps up. Going home to watch the good movies.
