I really enjoyed it but was dissapointed by some scenes such as Goblin Town with the Great Goblin, Barry Humpheries voice acting just was awful and didn't suit the character at all, made him just sound australian and camp. Also they tried to make some scenes like the trolls funny, this wasn't needed and removed a lot of fear for the characters safety. The frame rate made it seem like a television special of the hobbit too, especially added with the fact that there were so many television actors in it too. Some of the dwarves looked too cartoony too, like something of a disney pixar film, this just looked really unrealistic and removed that gritty feel Lord of the Rings had. The CGI was also pretty patchy i thought, in some scenes it was brilliant and in others it looked like something off a Xbox game had stepped on screen.Azog was a great character but i think he should have been all make-up and costume rather than CGI as it made him look less realistic compared to all the other orcs in the past films. Apart from Humpheries I thought the casting was pretty good overall, Gandalf and Gollum definately saved the film though. Overall though, I did really enjoy it, I just wish they had used the same frame rate as The Lord of the Rings.
