The Hobbit - The Battle of The Five Armies - release and review

I'm sure many of you are wondering why I haven't posted this before - it was as I was waiting for the movie to be released everywhere from New Zealand to America, Spain to England.
The Third and final installment to The Hobbit trilogy has been released, ending the journey that began thirteen years ago with the release of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring.
*Small Spoilers Ahead*

As those of you who have read the book are aware, there isn't a large amount of story in this part of The Hobbit - most likely why some critics are giving The Hobbit some mediocre reviews.
The bits of story that are in The Hobbit are well executed, and the link between the ending and the start of FoTR is good. The main part of the movie - the battle - is amazing - at least, in my view. The arrival of all the armies throughout the movie, the start of the battle and the events leading up to it are great.
However, some scenes with CGI are noticeable, and other scenes include slightly overreacted acting - such as when Bard grabs the Black Arrow from his son - you'll see.
Personally I loved it, even though it had some things in the movie that weren't in the book.

I give The Hobbit: BOFTA - 8/10

And now, as many of you have noticed, I created this blog solely for the countdown of the Hobbit. And now that the final movie has been released, only one more post remains for me to add before December 31.
