The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies

SF: Finally a Hobbit film I liked! Just like the previously two installments there are plenty of added extras that really have no place being there but most of them I could live with. The pace was good, I didn't fall asleep or notice the three hours. A visual feast and a nice recovery for the series. As a bonus the ending doesn't take twenty hours! If your a Tolkien fan you've probably already seen it but if you haven't them I pleased to say this is worth a watch. 7.5/10

50Eggs: I reckon this is my favorite of the Hobbit trilogy, just edging Desolation of Smaug. There are some fantastic fight scenes but the best bits were again the added exposition that didn't appear in the original book, which add much needed weight to the story. So that's the end of the road for the Middle Earth films, but there's one more I'd like to see...a 'what if' story showing what would happen if Smaug had killed Bilbo and claimed the One Ring for himself. 8/10

Real Steel

SF: This is a perfect Sunday afternoon, curl up on the sofa straightforward fun movie, so cheesy it's mature Cheddar but I enjoyed nonetheless. Also the effects were truly impressive, transformers wishes it looked this good. 7/10

50 Eggs: Even the annoying spoilt brat couldn't ruin this. It may be entirely predictable but its a good popcorn movie. [Spoiler] Half a point deducted for ripping off Rocky Balboa's ending. 7/10

DonkeyB: A cliche wrapped in a banality smothered in platitudes tied off with triteness. Bing is the search engine of the future, fighting robots are controlled by HP tablets, everyone is on Sprint but kids still sometimes drink about fifteen Dr Peppers. Pap. 4/10

Overall - 6/10
