Gr8st and chiefest epic fantasy movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2013)

Keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very last second. The dragon is really cool.I watched it in 3D and literally reached the middle earth. Though slow to start but soon speeds up from Mirkwoods.Great performances by all once again, Martin Freeman too good with the ring and funny with the dragon, Richard Armitage(Thorin) rude as ever with the character, Orlando Bloom(Legolas) back with a reasonable impact with his archery skills,The legend Sir Ian McKellen(Gandalf) had only a brief role and was mostly absent, But its the Dragon that steals the show, Great design, Great costume, Great voice and Legendary Graphics, it's the Greatest treasure of the 2 hr 40 min movie that surfaces towards the climax. If anybody doubted Peter Jackson with "An Unexpected Journey"(though even that was good though not all reviews hold this claim) he for sure got it alright this time and in fact more with introduction of Tauriel and leaving space for Tauriel, Legolas , Kili story.ALL IN ALL A MUST WATCH for all fantasy-adventure lovers as this movie sets a benchmark for others of the past and for future beyond to come
