Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2014)

It has it all- the romance, action, danger, adventure, lust, wisdom, comedy, passion, mystery. This film is far superior to the first of the trilogy (which almost never happens). The colors were gorgeous, great pacing throughout the film, and most of the characters are great. I will say, some of the dwarfs characters I find I don't really like. I do think that the play on the dwarfs is much too... childish, but then again I did read this book when I was a child, so I can still relate oddly enough. And I must say, Benedict Cumberbatch has one of the greatest voices of all time. Overall, there was never a dull moment for me, I enjoyed every bit. This is one movie I will be able to watch time and time again.
