I've always loved the hobbit since I was a child. This movie is the 3rd in the trilogy, and finishes it beautifully. I was not disappointed at all. Only minor things are different from the book, but it's hardly noticeable. It ties in nicely with the first two of the trilogy, and finishes them with an epicness that's hard to find in many movies. It does have a long play time, but for me that's not a complaint. If you enjoy movies from the fantasy genre, this is one of the best and a must see. I have watched it many times, and am proud to own the blue ray trilogy collection.
