The hobbit sequel

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2014)

After "The hobbit: an unexpected journey", the first part of the hobbit trilogy, the second movie is even more far away from the original story of the book. Don't get me wrong, it is very entertaining, just not what I expected. The story is the continuation of the first movie : Bilbo, the hobbit, in the company of 13 dwarfs and Gandalf the wizard are continuing their journey towards the lonely mountain and the stolen treasure, followed by a pack of orcs, attacked by elves and finally taking help from a human from the lake town. The special effects are brilliant, especially the dragon, who looks very real and horrible. The part when Sauron is taking the form of the eye in front of Gandalf wasn't that great, but I wasn't a fan of the idea of showing the Nekromad and his forces, from the beginning. Clever lines, not as funny as the ones from the first movie, but still very interesting. The love story between the elf and the dwarf was interesting too, surprisingly, as I believed, when I first heard of it being said by others who had already seen the movie, it will destroy the movie. The music was good too, epic and exciting, according to the mood of the film. The scenery was fantastic, gray and beautiful at the same time, especially that scene when Legolas is chasing the orc over the lake. All in all, a great movie, but not for the fans of the book, who will be disappointed if they expect the original story. P.S. The ending is a little bit sudden.
