An excellent film worthy of the highest reviews!

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2014)

I had thoroughly enjoyed the first movie, and went to the cinemas to watch the second movie in 3-D! I had high hopes for this movie, and I was not disappointed. I'm posting this review as a movie fan, and because I've seen a lot of negative reviews going around for this movie, and there shouldn't be. Unlike Lord of the Rings (which I loved), The Hobbit trilogy caters a little more for people who hadn't seen the film, and while the built sets of lord of the rings were impressive, The hobbit has much more scale and the action scenes are much more impressive and enjoyable. Smaug is easily best dragon seen in movie history, and Benedict Cumberbatch nailed the voice. Martin Freeman and the surrounding cast are great in their roles, And the humor stops the film from being too serious. I still have Ed Sheeran's song from the credits stuck in my head, and the rest of the music is beautiful and amazing. The visual effects wizardry is absolutely amazing, but the important thing is not to compare it too much to the book, other wise you won't enjoy it as much as you should.
