Better than expected.

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2013)

Coming in to the movie I didn't know what to expect, after the first one which was a bit disappointing. The story was great,( I have not read the book). Leaving on a cliffhanger was what I expected to happen, Cumberbatch's voice was great, Martin Freeman did a great job again, Gandalf choosing to leave the dwarfs was stupid, but getting Sauron into this movie was expected. Legolas looks older than in the LOTR series. All in all the movie was much better than the first one. Good job Jackson, get the third one rolling. Make it better than the first one, and I'll be happy.
P.S people will ship Bilbo and Smaug after this one.
