Ok watched it last night,

here are some thoughts:

-My God that movie made 3 hours feel like 5 hours. The pacing made me keep thinking the movie was going to end, but kept going for another half movie. Felt long, but I liked it.

-Fight scenes were good, but turned into orc destruction overload. Are orcs even a problem when we can wipe them out so easily?

-Definitely didn't have as much structure going on as the first Hobbit film, seemed to throw you into whatever was going on. Which is fine for a middle film

-Love subplot didn't bother me, he was just working his dwarven moves on the sweet elf

-Smaug stole the show, Cumberbatch and Freeman work far too well together.

-Movie ended worse than Halo 2, but it had to end at some point. (Please see earlier comment for pacing)

Overall, I liked it alot, but I'm a sucker for Peter Jackson and his Tolkien adventures.
