Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2014)

I have to warn you that I am a huge Tolkien fun, have read the books 3 times and seen the Lord of the Rings movies more times than i can remember. This movie was in one word disappointing, and this is not due to the fact that they have totally disregarded the actual book and invented entire piles of new (and often lame stuff). The hobbit is a children's story not meant to be epic or a 3 movie thing. A simple, relatively small movie would suffice. I would really like to see 3 epic movies from Peter Jackson on the SIlmarillion. The audience of the Hobbit seems to e targeted at 15 year old. It simply does not do justice to either the book or the Lord of the RIngs movies.
