The Hobbit 2 Same As The Hobbit 1 - Too Much CGI

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2015)

As in The Hobbit 1 the CGI is great in this movie. The problem is in some cases they are not very believable. The dwarfs fall several stories in one scene, if it had been in real life the characters would have all died. Many of the special effects are way beyond belief to actually be able to happen. I know this is a fantasy but they need to scale back the CGI a little. I kept saying to myself WOW this looks great but its unrealistic. Other movies with CGI are doing the same thing. How about less CGI and more acting with emotions. At least the CGI was very detailed and life like. Having Smaug talk was a mistake IMHO. Can you imagine Godzilla talking in a movie ? Yes spend the money to make the special effects as great as possible but in a realistic possible way. I did not like the ending. Having to make an someone wait a year for The Hobbit 3 to finish the story is not the best way to go for a fan. I did not have to wait a year as I bought all 3 Hobbit movies on DVD and will watch The Hobbit 3 tomorrow night. I still like the movie but it could have been much better.
