Don't listen to the other reviews

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2014)

The Movie is extremely well made by movie standards. I will admit that the only thing holding the movie back from LOTR level is character development. Also, there are too many unneeded characters in this trilogy. I actually hope that someone gets killed off just so I can remember the other elves names better. Smash looks incredible and is voiced excellently. Not a lot of Gandolf or the orcs in this movie, because this chapter is based more on the task at hand rather than Orc attacks. Be prepared for an action packed movie with a good story and incredible CGI. I wasn't a huge
fan of the ending, but I can understand that the writers did that so the next movie starts of interesting.
