The plot is weak

Needless to say, the special effects are magnificent and spectacular. Once again enjoy the magnificent scenery of New Zealand.
But in such a long film, the story is about the adventures of the dwarves along the way, and before the story is finished, there is still a trilogy to be filmed...
The earlier part of the dwarves eating at Bilt's house was used up a lot. Time, each subsequent adventure takes a long time to describe the fighting plot, which is really slow and procrastinating.
The plot seems a little weak, maybe it's intentional in order to pull it into a trilogy. However, I can finally notice some details, but I always feel that the procrastination of the plot is the biggest weakness of the whole movie.
I still think that Gulu looks better there. Nowadays, Gulu is doing more and more realistically, and countless close-ups can clearly see that his eyes are constantly changing because of his dual personality.
Those dwarves are literally protected by gods, no matter how dangerous the situation is, they are still unscathed.
This movie doesn't feel like it's made for adults but for children. The plot is a bit weak, and the dark things are either obscure or deliberately obscure. It has always conveyed positive things such as love, courage, loyalty, justice, etc., far from The Lord of the Rings trilogy is so dark. Yes, it was originally children's literature, huh, huh.
Maybe it's for fans too. Although I'm not a fan, I was a little excited when I saw familiar faces such as Gandalf, the Elf Queen, etc., not to mention those senior Lord of the Rings fans, they must be excited Incomparable.
If I didn't watch it in a movie theater, the effect must be greatly reduced, and I always felt that the plot of this movie was procrastinating, so I thought it was okay. Next time I will go to the cinema to watch it, at least to appreciate the 3D special effects.
