Peter Jackson has milked it too much

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2015)

I was told that The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was terrible. I didn't want to believe it because I very much liked the first one. It wasn't too dark,it mainly followed the book and didn't get boring. However, the Desolation of Smaug was as terrible as I had been informed. I think the main reason for this is that it tried too hard. It was trying to be as big as The Lord of The Rings, but it didn't work because of the setting, there was nowhere for a huge battle to take place. So instead (spoiler alert), they got loads of orcs to chase the escaping dwarfs down the river in a pretty stupid, gravity defying scene. I'm sorry but there is no way that the fat dwarf could have survived that. Another factor is about the name of the film. "The Hobbit'. I forgot Bilbo was in it halfway through, its not really about him. You see most of the dwarfs more than him. My final point is my problem with Bard, he is a discount Aragorn (hence my username). They wanted a hero in it and because Aragorn was popular, they picked up the first guy who looked like him. He is the poundland version of Aragorn, cheap and nasty. So, I rate this film 2/10 because of the main story, It doesn't excite you and could do with being shorter. I had no problem with the acting. But, it isn't not the worst film ever made, I have rated this 2/10 because there is only one film that I consider to be 1/10 because the film (which I will not name) ruined my life. If Peter Jackson wants to continue making good films, he has to stop milking the cow that is Middle Earth.
