There are some issues with this movie that cause me to give it 4 out of 5 stars. First, the story doesn't quite follow the book very precisely. Most of us knew that going in. Second, there are spots in the 2D version that I watched where the CGI effects were very obvious. The primary example of this was during the scene when the Dwarven party was captured by the goblins and they made their escape on a roller coaster-esque ride on the wooden platform to the bottom of the cavern. These and other flaws aside, it was a fun ride following a well known story. Me and, my friends who watched it with me, were pleased overall with the movie and will likely go to see one of the 3D versions (still trying to decide which). if you're a hihg-fantasy fan, you should enjoy this movie despite some shortcomings.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons obvious cgi scenes
Yes, I recommend this movie.
