Last night I saw the last Hobbit movie. I am really of two minds about this. At the end of the second movie, during the credits, it makes the statement 'Based on the Novel by JRR Tolkein'. That actually helped. I still wish they would have made two films instead and that Del Toro had stuck it out - but I'll take what I get.
This film is IMHO a bit too focused one action rather than characters. But given that, there are some awesome fight scenes and some incredibly touching moments in the film. I teared up several times. Some very sad moments. A great scene that harkens back to the Simarillion and Unfinished Tales that reminds you about badass the Eldar really are (Galadriel in this case).
Overall, a good action flick, but not what I had hoped for the finale.
