Great movies!

Great ending to an epic beginning. It has what you expect from the title, the battle scenes were well executed.

As a fan of Tolkien's books, I was very pleased how Peter Jackson took the Hobbit stories .. his additions successfully added to the overall excitement to the story. Peter's work & effort to remain true, honor JRR Tolkien.

Much better pacing and visuals when compaired to the previous LOTR films. Well acted, great score. Overall a fantastic film!
