Fantastic if viewed as a movie, nothing else.

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2014)

Forget about the book. Hundreds of angry book fanatics fans have already stated how this action adventure slaughters the the soul of Tolkien. One thing they all seem to forget though, you're supposed to rate a movie as a movie. How good of a movie was The HObbit DOS? It was actually an amazing film. Characters like Bilbo, Gandalf, Legolas and Thorin feel real and alive, the action though a little over done is enjoyable without a doubt and the CGI is almost flawless.
PROS: As stated above, the characters are likable, some even more than in lord of the rings. The pacing is spot on, unlike AUJ. The dialoges are clever and well, there's simply a lot of things Peter did right with the movie.
CONS. What book? There's also one or two dwarfes we have yet to hear say something, that's just weird...
Final Thoughts: I personally loved the movie because I saw it as a movie and nothing else. There's a lot of dumb people who have given it one or two stars because they're either disappointed with it, or they don't agree with the direction Peter went. That does NOT mean the movie is worse than average though! Give it less than 4 and you're not good at reviewing movies if you ask me, that's just my humble opinion of course.
