HUGE Lord of The Rings fan here again!
I think this one was the best one in the trilogy, I do have some things that I didn't like but overall this is a great movie..
The positive points:
Thorin and his friendship with Bilbo, I loved the performances by both actors and the final scene between them actually made me tear up, it was so well done and also Thorin's "dragon-sickness" was well done. Dwalin's conversation with Thorin was great (Dwalin was amazing!)
All the other performances are amazing.
Seeing Galadriel, Saruman and "badass" Elrond was cool, it was cool to see how powerful Galadriel was ( she was creepy but cool), and forgive me for being a fangirl but Elrond fighting was way too beutiful!
I really liked the battle, I liked the music, I loved the first 15 minutes with Smaug it was short but absolutely awesome and Bard was actually awesome.
The end credit song (The Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd) is a beautiful song and I loved it. It did have many other good stuff that I can't mention.
The negative points:
That romance was still pointless ( Legolas being friendzoned for a "hot" dwarf is just weird)
The CGI is still heavy and does look too fake at times.
The runtime is still very long, but have to say it was way better than the first 2 movies.
the character of "Alfrid" should just NOT EXIST!
Legolas just HATES Physics !
but overall it was a beautiful movie that did tie beautifully with LOTR in the end!
