Got the feel of lord of the rings...

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2013)

First of all, to all those who compare the hobbit trilogy to the lotr trilogy, i have to say that there is no point in comparing these two installments. I don't have to write about the time period or era in which the two stories have taken place, other reviews have talked about it, but its not just that. I think the fans are forgetting the fact that both (lotr and the hobbit) are two entirely different book. And it would be extremely difficult to portray something as magnificent as the lotr movies. Fans need to understand it and they need to treat both installments as two different installments. Comparison would eclipse the beauty and all the good parts in the hobbit trilogy. (Just my opinion) I have to say that the second installment of the hobbit trilogy is better than the first installment-The unexpected journey. The movie starts with gandalf's meeting with thorin in the prancing pony and convinces him to reclaim the homeland of erabor. Tempo high throughout the movie and PJ tried and sometimes succeeded in bringing the feel of the lotr trilogy. Still the movie could have been better if it was 20-25 minutes shorter. There were some really wonderful dedicated and convincing performances in the movie. Standout according to me was that of Luke Evans's who played the role of Bard. Martin Freeman was as witty and cheeky as he was in the first part. CGI would often distract you from the story but nevertheless, it was really a visual treat.
Is the movie an all time classic...No... But is it an excellent movie.....YES !!!!....DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING and two thumbs up
PS:- Movie actually deserve 7 or 8 stars at the max but im giving it 10 on 10 because im a die hard fan of the franchise. Personally i want to see this and all the movies in this franchise to be in the IMDb top 250...
so 10 on 10....
