The Hobbit.
Once again what Peter Jackson has proved is that he can't make second films, or that he shouldn't be allowed to make three films.
The third part of the hobbit brings back the quality that we all knew Jackson was capable of producing and that we had come to expect from him. A critical annalysis would claim that it was all battles and not very true to the book and lets not take anything away from it- they are correct but Jackson and team had left themselves a huge task to complete with the third film. If you imagine the twelve tasks of Hercules then this is basically what Jackson and Fran Walsh were facing when they made this third film. The second film was so terrible and so made up that we all knew that it was coming. De Ja Vu, it was like watching The Lord Of The Rings all over again. I had loved the first part and I even enjoyed the final part but it was let down by the middle.
Orlando Bloom, with no disrespect to him, no amount of CGI can stop him from looking at least ten years older that what he was in the rings films. His character was unnecessary and even though I liked his development and it explained a lot about him and tied in nicely to the lord of the rings (which was the point) it was a shame that with him came this completely fictional elf that made everyone want to vomit with her love for one of the dwarves (either Fili or Kili).
At the end of the desolation of Smaug I had felt that it could have ended several times before it did and that generally shouldn't happen in a film however with this one i enjoyed it through to the end.
I loved the fact that Billy Connolly rode a pig into battle and swore a lot and I loved the fact that there were battle elks and battle rams as well. Discrimination clearly wasn't ongoing in the animal kingdom in this film!
My overall Oscar award goes to Radagast as I loved his performance throughout, especially when he appears to ride off with Gandalf. I loved the ninja skills from Hugo Weaving and Sir Christopher Lee to bring the level up a notch and once again, assisted by Cate Blanchett.
Overall verdict- much better but to make it seem like there was more happening than just battles he should've merged the book bits in the second film with the book bits in this film and just made two films, thus cutting out the made up crap in the middle and keeping everyone happy.
A nice way to end the year. Readers, look forward to a crazy start to next year when i upload about six posts on the trot due to my crazy Christmas schedule leading to the acquisition of a selection of films to chose on.
Hold on for a few days and I will be back to start the next challenge!
