Average action flick in great Middle-Earth setting

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2014)

Absolutely fail to compare with original LOTR trilogy. In Hobbit 2 there are too much CGI, and, for my surprise, it wasn't the best kind of CGI. Every action scene looks clearly CGIish, fishy. Aimation could be so much better, it feels SUPER cheap. I didn't get ANY fun from action scenes. They all are predictable, repetitive, dull.
The story - same here, characters try to joke, but they fail miserably, there is not real depth in characters. This "Finding his father" story weren't in the book, Dwarwes just wanted their gold back - and it would be better in movie to add a little grey color to characters.
I can't find anything spectacular about this movie. Just an average action flick in much-loved Middle Earth universe - that's why i rated it not 5/10, but 7/10.
