The Dragon: a boring film about short men who used to be miners but with no real jobs now just drink and fight

Yes I saw this film last night. It was long and boring and you might think that it was a documentary about life today in South Wales. It was of course part 3 of the Hobbit. I loved the book as a kid but the film sucks.

It is ching, ching, ring every last penny out of the franchise. The Hobbit could have been made as a one or plausibly two part tale. Three parts is all about the money. I am just maxed out on Middle Earth battles where the good guys are outnumbered, start heroically but then face defeat, then launch a fight back, then face defeat and they are finally saved by a last minute intervention. That is the way of all Middle Earth battles in this six film franchise.

I still fancy far too many elfish women for my own good but this is a film to dodge.
