It is a great movie indeed But...

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2014)

let me just make it clear that i'm one of the biggest fans of the lord of the rings franchise .. it is my childhood's best movie .. i remember every single scene in the 3 movies with its background music , what the actors say and how they act it and even how the camera moves !! ,, i remember every single detail of the movies .. and I still watch them and enjoy them too ! ... the desolation is a really wonderful movie.. however it is not as good as any of the lotr movies and its not even close .. in fact the only reason i gave it an 8 is because i'm still loyal to the lotr movies.. i will just compare the two movies so i make my point...although lotr movies are much older it feels like they are more realistic.. the environments ,the creatures the orcs everything was stunning and realistic !in the hobbit movies the excessive usage of CGI makes the movie look cartonish and feels more like a game than a movie .. every thing looks fake .. even the horse that legolas rides in the end of the movie is CGI ! why is that ?! couldn't they afford a real horse ?? .. some environments look really really fake and shouldn't 've been included in the movie in first place .. And the movie's Score !! for god's sake I still watch lotr movies because of its score ,, each scene has a perfectly matching music that feels like it was made for this scene .. this doesn't happen in the desolation .. In my opinion the lotr movies are a one time experience in a lifetime ,, i don't think that there will ever be a movie that matches these movies .. even their creator can't make a movie that is close to them .. I really wish the third installment of the hobbit franchise satisfies all lotr hardcore fans like me .
