Rating: 9 out of 10, Peter Jackson
does amazing things with his films and this flick had more than a few jaw
dropping scenes. The clarity of the action is astonishing, especially given
that so much is CGI. He can’t really
figure out what to do with the dwarf king who takes wild character turns with
seemingly every scene which is problematic at times but Jackson does elves
really well. Legolas from LOTR returns
and is more than ably assisted by Lost’s Evangelline Lily as an elvish
warrior. The movie is long but you
almost don’t notice it as the pace is relentless. The final battle scenes with the dragon Smaug
are breathtaking. This is a movie geeks
(guilty as charged) will love. I did.
MVP: Evangelline Lily
as Tauriel
