I don't know what kind of weird crack y'all have been smoking...

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2014)

After seeing the first movie, I was extremely excited to see the second. The first one was an 8 by itself, and this sequel is a large improvement still. The plot was well-organized, the conflicts fit the movie well and tied together seamlessly, and the action and effects are stunning. Also, I have to say that Bilbo's character is played perfectly, along with the rising inner conflict he has with the One Ring. However, the affair between Keeley and the Elf Huntress didn't add anything to the film. Perhaps this will come into play in the third movie. Regardless, this film is still one of the best I have ever seen. Definitely see this movie. You'll be glad that you did.
