A major downfall of the movies compared to the book is the added characters and storylines. While some of the added storyline help to clarify parts about the battle of five armies‚ it also serves to muddle up parts of the movie and making them hard to follow‚ such as the story line about the Necromanser and all the death he is bringing back to reclaim the mountain.

With a Little Bit of Joy A good action movie pumps you up‚ makes you sweat‚ and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
