8/10
True LOTR Fans will be Disappointed
13 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
There were almost no epic moments in this movie, there was no real "charge/clash" of 5 five armies, only dwarfs deciding to rush the enemy themselves and then elves spontaneously joining in, in the books Gandalf stops the 3 armies of the dwarfs, humans and elves with one single shout if i remember correctly? "Death has been bestowed upon you all the goblins and the wargs are coming!" He's able to rally and unite the armies in one single charge they clash with the goblin army, that would be much more epic. Overall this movie just felt wrong in so many ways, there was no post credit scene either to tie up loose ends. There was no aftermath either, just Bilbo going home, the end, nothing connecting to the lotr series. Will the EE be able to save this movie? Im not sure, was LOTR a better trilogy? Absolutely. A weak movie, not complete. I just felt disappointed, an entertaining battle but not emotional, no LOTR-quality here and then I mean the seriousness of the lotr trilogy felt a lot better than this. Thorin, Fili and Kili's deaths were so weak.

I mean really? If this was going to be the very last movie of Tolkiens worlds why didn't u make it good enough PJ!? Is this suppose to be the very last representation of Tolkiens world before we leave them and never to return to Middle Earth?

Giving it 7/10.
