I guess the question is is it a good movie? No, its an awesome one. However it does not stay true to either the book or the true backstory/history of middle earth, close but not close enough. There are those who will hate it or love it and forgive those 'changes'. I get why but it still bothers me like off mushrooms in the Greenwood. I took my 11 year old son who obviously loved every minute, which was pricless and spoke volumes about how good the actual story is. The changes to the troll sequence i didnt like, in the book the trolls argue and fight untill the sun catches them out, why this wasnt the same as the book I dont know. The silly hat that one of the dwaves wears also is anoying, but I can forgive that. I like the expansion of the story and inclusion of more history, even if it was 100% faithful. All in all I still rate it 9 out ten.
