I could cry!

The review by Steffen Burkhardt "Stevo" Is it really is exactly where nothing more can be added. After much consideration, I give now 2 stars (2 1/2 is not yes).
I also read, as so many other reviewers here, Tolkien - and "The Hobbit" is easy for many years my favorite book. From the implementation of the Code to these (so far) two film-parts I am deeply disappointed! Even the first part has not blown away, because z. B. with the trolls came on the scene not long on the book, and I wonder wondered how and why orcs in broad daylight followed the tour group. Rivendell was seen only a "break time" (with this obscure answer to the riddle) as Bilbo was affection for the Elves, the even more important later, was not described. Also (the acting a bit silly) Radagast I (just barely) accepted ... but now I'm just still stunned!
Desolation of Smaug really is "bleak". I am shocked at how much this part of the journey with totally unnecessary, overloaded Action any profound action eradicates simply and almost demoted to all the characters laughing stock! In addition (and this is probably the saddest thing sometimes!), The "Lord of the Rings" -Triloge completely disenchanted. In Desolation of Smaug scenes were built, which have absolutely nothing to look for here and prejudge the Lord of the Rings! If you do not know the books, and begins with the Hobbit movies, you will find the Lord of the Rings only boring, because you have everything already seen (such as the treatment of a wound with kingsfoil by an elf in the beautiful light, and Gandalf battle with Sauron -What the hell does actually already here - but is a facsimile to the fight with the Balrog in Lord of the Rings, or the huge dwarf figurine from stone at Erebor, which makes the wow factor of the Argonath in the Lord of the Rings naught ). Zig other things reflected in the films, which is extremely unfortunate because the Hobbit has a huge book technically (in the film absolutely neglected) range of sophisticated storylines and profound characters. That this has not been implemented, clearly proves that unfortunately was produced "in commerce".
People who the (justified!) Criticism (even many Tolkien fans) do not understand this movie, should simply times quiet reading the book before they complain.

Conclusion: I'm really very sorry, but I can recommend this film only "ignorant" who do not know the book. Technically, the film is, as might be expected, a blast (with slight imperfections and lengths - but ok), and the actors do their thing excellent (especially the little master thief)! But the flat-told story and the forced humor (-? "Slapstick" it hits rather) disappointed unfortunately.
If Peter Jackson's adaptation has already been seen from the beginning as (or something similar), it does not surprise me that there were so many disputes about the filming and had to be put off again and again the fans. Unfortunately the result is not compensated us now. Why did the producers could not just closer to the real aircraft, in which everything's inside, and thus provide us such a wonderful, charming, enchanting, diverse and profound story as the Lord of the Rings?
