Very good, not lord of the rings quality though

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2014)

I'll be the first to say when these films were announced I has no hope that they would be anywhere near as good as The Lord of the rings and they aren't. That said they are still good and Martin Freeman plays the role perfectly.
I liked this film a lot but although it followed the events of the book I think it should've followed how those events happened more closely. That being said everything else was very good and I especially like Benedict cumberbatches dragon who I thought felt very real. Also I liked Orlando blooms character as he made It feel slightly more like The Lord of the rings trilogy.
