Peter Jackson's Hobbit movie sequel not Tolkien's Book

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2013)

You could go either way on this movie. Either accepting the changes or make a desolation out of Peter Jackson for making a movie inspired not based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece. This movie was more childish then the children's book. Either way this is not J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' you read..
This movie takes place between Chapters 7-13. In between those chapters you get the Director, Peter Jackson's new take on the story. More likely to take up more time so he could stretch out this short story into three films. I liked Peter Jackson's story, but I didn't like how they rushed Tolkien's version of the story and actually altering all of it. They Changed key parts of the book. I didn't like that, he could have easily left it alone the way it was and it would have been better that way, story wise and for the fans. I did like the chase down the river and the girl elf but they over played Legolas and even Kili. I did not like that Bilbo took off his ring in places he wasn't supposed too. The dwarfs being in the mountain with Bilbo was unnecessary. I disliked that Bard's kid said that the missing shell in Smaug's armor was because of his grandfather. In the book, Bilbo was sent in the cave twice because he was the burglar in the book so go burglar something. On his second trip he discovered the missing shell while Smaug was showing off. Making Bilbo ultimately responsible for Smaug's Demise or desolation because he discovered the dragon's weakness. In the movie he just confirmed it. Anybody can shoot an arrow in these movies but Bilbo outsmarted the dragon while being invisible and discovered how to kill him in the book. In my opinion they changed too much of the book that made the book great and you just don't do that! I didn't mind Peter Jackson's side story but I am disgusted by the lack of respect for Tolkien's original story.. I thought the first one was okay but this one flat out killed it for me.
