I'll start by saying it upfront, I wanted to gouge my eyes out from boredom and and stuff cotton in my ears during the first hour or so of this movie. Radagast is downright childish and takes Tolkien's Middle-Earth and gives it a very Narnia-esque feel (that is not a good thing in this sense). The dialogue is extremely forgettable and the story advancement is almost non-existent. The movie picks up significantly during the second hour and the scenes with Gollum and the Orc battles are definite high points. The main flaw of this movie is that Peter Jackson has tried to make this movie the 4th LOTR movie, instead of the 1st Hobbit movie. This movie is good, but not on the level of LOTR. If you are expecting another LOTR, prepare to be dissapointed because while the visuals are there, the story simply is not, nor was it ever intended to be.
Pros great story, great special effects
Cons slow, too long
Yes, I recommend this movie.
