Can't wait for the next instalment! 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2014)

Review: What an epic movie. I wasn't a big fan of The Lord Of The Rings movies and I thought that this movie was going to refer back to the other movies, but the storyline was pretty straight forward and easy to follow Gandalf explains the whole plot at the beginning so your able to enjoy the movie without trying to remember names and working out who is who. With that aside, Peter Jackson really did put together a movie spectacular, with fire breathing dragons, arrow shooting elves, ugly looking giant monsters and, of course, the harmless dwarfs. The whole film looked amazing, especially the attention to detail with the dragon, which looked believable. All of the sets looked great and there was a great mixture of characters which helped you along the two and a half hours epic. Anyway, this is a great movie which really does hype you up for the next instalment. Epic!
Round-Up: The way that the movie is advertised, I thought that it was going to be, mostly, about Bilbo Baggins and Gandolf, but it really does follows each character well and it doesn't concentrate any individual. Basically about a gang of dwarfs, fighting to claim back there kingdom but there are some elves and monsters thrown in to the mix. It was good to see Gandolf in his few scenes, but there isn't any Gollum, although you do hear his "Precious" every now and again. All of the characters put it great performances, which much have been hard because half of the characters are there to work with. The fighting scenes with the elves were excellent and very well choreographed. Honestly, I really haven't got a bad word to say about this film and I hope the next one is just as good or even better.
Budget: $250million Worldwide Gross: $950.5million
I recommend this movie to people who are into The Lord Of The Rings franchise which is full of adventure, fantasy and epic drama. 8/10
