I thought the movie was pretty entertaining. It's kind of odd, as it wants to be high fantasy & intentionally goofy, while @ times being unintentionally goofy, all @ the same time.

My response was more directed at the "I can't believe we're using spoilers for a book that's eighty years old." comment. I only used spoilers tags because Tauriel is an original character so the story is obviously going to be different because of it.Originally Posted by Tavrobel
I think his concern is less that we should care about this character's ultimate fate, and more that Tauriel was an unnecessary addition into an established story that lacks a twist ending.
But then again, Azog is still alive at the beginning of the first movie, so it could be anything. It could even be a boat.
Just got back. Started out awesome 10/10 because it was a bunch of awesome massive fights between EVERYBODY
then (SPOILER)everyone I liked started to die and Legolas climbed up a bunch of falling rocks and I'm sorry I know he's Legolas and that this is fantasy but it was ridiculous and bothered me a lot
The ending kind of redeemed it a little but what the hell I recall The Hobbit being a fun and happy book? Then again it's been a while since I read it
The ending was the best part of this movie. I loved how it ended(SPOILER) with Gandalf showing up at Bilbos 111th birthday
<PaperStar> live fast, die young, bad plefs do it well
(SPOILER)Yeah, I called bulltrout on that scene. Oddly enough I thought he was more watered down compared to his role in 2, but I could just be remembering 2 wrong.
Gonna be the blasphemer...
...but I actually got pretty bored watching this. I loved Parts 1 and 2, but Part 3 just never really hooked me at any point.
Off the top of my head, I'd probably rank them 2, 3 then 1. I like Bilbo a bit more than Frodo, but I think the LoTR trilogy beats this one.
I don't even remember the first two that well to properly rate them. I guess that means 3 wins by default.

I really liked the legolas part. I love his daddy. He's like the way I imagine blood elves in WoW.
I thought it was action all the way through. Which I enjoyed. I went in expecting a fantasy action click and that's what I got. Wasn't looking for some deep meaning. It filled that fantasy action need for me.
I didn't like it at all. I felt nothing. I rolled my eyes a lot. So essentially, this film fulfilled every expectation I had for it. going to copy my facebook post:
I was going to write out a nice long critique about Battle of the Five Armies and the conclusion to The Hobbit trilogy, but someone has already done it for me.

Cue the absurdly apt "the kids are barely developed at all and Bard comes off as a blandly heroic Diet Aragorn". I loved Bard in The Desolation of Smaug; he was the best thing about that film, aside from Bilbo's meeting with Smaug. This one, though, he just didn't cut it. Diet Aragorn is smurfing right.
Also, the film started winding down a good HOUR AND TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE FILM ENDED. THAT IS FAR TOO LONG TO DRAG OUT AN ENDING. PETER JACKSON FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE FILMS EVER, YOU HAVE GEORGE-LUCASED THE trout OUT OF THESE FILMS JUST STOP
"George Lucased" is probably the most appropriate term for PJ's Hobbit Trilogy. While I found it entertaining, & there were some aspects I really liked about it, it just didn't hit on the same level the LoTR Trilogy did.
It's seems to be the same w/ Star Wars, basing it on what others have said about the prequels (which I didn't bother seeing).
I actually thought the ending was only about five minutes long xD It seemed really abrupt to me.
I keep seeing people on Facebook bitching about the super cool rideable elks and pigs and rams and stuff and IMO they can bite me. It reminds me of Warcraft and Warcraft is great.
Peter Jackson doesn't have jack trout on George Lucas.
Thinking about it I think the first Hobbit movie is my favorite of the three. It's been a while since I read the Hobbit but I recall liking it because it was a fun, silly kids' book that didn't take itself too seriously. The first movie captured that feeling the best I think. After that it just wanted to be ~super serious~ and I didn't like it as much.
This was so bad, you guys.
