As a real fan of the Tolkien world I've to say...

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2013)

First of all I've to say that the first part "The Hobbit: An unexpected journey" had much mysticism and charisma. I'm gutted about the second part of the trilogy due to the fact that is such an other story than the book tells. I know that you can't turn a book, which was written for children, into a spectacular movie without adding some extras but this was kind of another movie at some parts. In addition to that I missed the deepness within the characters and their relation to the whole journey. Despite some more or less nonessential and dummy conversation there are a few moments in which you feel you're part of the world. I really appreciate Peter Jackson for what he did especially due to the Lotr-Trilogy but this time he missed the target by far. Moreover, one can not simple appropriate some special effects like the big golden dwarf turning into liquid gold or the moment Sauron appears in Dol Gundur in front of Gandalf which are so lame it looks like a ten-year-old had given photo shop and a half an hour of time. I read all the books of Tolkien (Lotr, Hobbit, Silmarilion etc) but this second movie of the Hobbit Trilogy appears as a thorn in my flesh and it's frustrating that is now a part of the whole Tolkien-World. I really hope that the 3rd part is getting much better again.
