Desolation of Smaug
blacksinow:
I also had just seen it, and I thought it was interesting, but the ending frustrated me to no end.

You really do have to go into this understanding that it's not The Hobbit the children's book, but the historical version of events that lead to The Lord of The Rings.

Even though I know it's appropriate given the scale of Tolkien's works, I can't help but do a double-take at your use of 'historical'. :lol:
I saw it tonight, in IMAX. It's amazing how much of a difference the high frequency recording makes. So smooth! So crisp! I don't regret spending €15 on it.

Definitively better than the first one, but doesn't measure up to the ROTR movies.
Saw it today, Smaug is pretty impressive, and the whole river scene was exhilarating. Would have loved to see a fight between Beorn and the warg riders, tho. Jackson obviously had the money and ability to put in extra action/effects scenes wherever he felt like it, not that I'm complaining :)
Being me, I'm always a little bothered by the lazy dramatic arcs and black/white characters, but that's Tolkien for you :mrgreen:
