Not only a bad version of the Hobbit, but also a bad movie

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2013)

Let's try to summarize things (bad and good) in a clean way -Decent special effects, even if it's overloaded with CGI. -Decent acting by the main characters. However, most of them don't get too much development. Actually, I didn't care to much about them because they were all the time running around escaping from something. Some other reviewer mentioned that he didn't even remember who was the dwarf that got stranded in the lake town or why he should care about him. That's exactly the same feeling I got. -This is important: although I haven't read the book, I've been told by someone who did read and does love the book, that the story simply contains too much unnecessary filler that IS NOT on the book (like the love story between Tauriel and Kili, both of which I think are characters invented by Peter Jackson's team). -Adding this love story makes the movie probably more targeted to teenagers in need of romanticism, but it's totally unfaithful to the book.
The general feeling is that they tried to fill three movies three hours long by adding a lot of fan(director) fiction, that doesn't have anything to do with the book and in the meantime they forgot to tell a lot of things that really were in the book.
OK, so, it's a bad rendition of the book, but the main problem is that it's also an awfully boring movie. One hour into the film I was already looking at the time impatiently, and I fell asleep for half an hour after that, only to wake up and discover that nothing of importance had happened.
Final note: don't let yourself be fooled by the (in my opinion) numerous fake reviews that inflate the score of this movie. It's a tendency I've seen in the last year, that a lot of people is probably being paid to post ridiculously good reviews just to make others watch the movie while it's still on theaters.
