Much better than the first but its plot and length was just grueling. The CGI was not impressive compared to previous installments. Bilbo is just a character not worth following and it seems the quest was just uneventful compared to Frodo's. The protagonists were again bountiful but nice to see some familiar faces in action while the antagonists was just not as fearsome. Overall, worth viewing for its direction, action and character development to fit the pieces together. Not much else to review about and nothing to rave either.
