The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Movie Review


This post contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie yet and do not want to see spoilers please ignore this until you have seen the movie. If you do not mind a spoiler or two and just want to find out if the movie is worth watching please read this review.

OK, after watching this movie I am officially a big fan of The Hobbit! The desolation of Smaug was a lot different than the first movie. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was very good, I would rate it at 8.0 because I am also a big fan of the LOTR. Some people would rate it lower, mostly because they say it was boring at some parts of the movie. I for one do not think so, The Hobbit: An unexpected journey was just right to set up for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It wasn't supposed to be filled with thrilling scenes all the time.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was incredibly exciting, the return of Orlando Bloom as Legolas and finding out that Gimli's dad is part of Thorin Oakenshield's group is one of the highlights of the movie for me. Fans of LOTR will know that Legolas and Gimli became good friends and the scene where Legolas insult's Gimli's dad, mom and even him was actually quite enjoyable. SMAUG! since the trailer for this movie came out I have been wanting to see Smaug! the Dragon the Dwarves lost their homeland too, I didn't expect Smaug to be able to talk though. The book is difficult to read so I didn't know Smaug was a pretty chatty dragon.

TAURIEL! Envangeline Lilly is incredibly beautiful, the fact that they turned her into an Elf made her pretty face shine even more. Tauriel as I know isn't in the book, she was just created by Peter Jackson to be The Hobbit's Arwen if you will. The eye candy to refresh our eyes from all the Dwarves, Orcs, old men... Some people might not like Tauriel's addition to The Hobbit because She is not in the book, but I sure don't see myself getting pissed at Jackson anytime soon. All in all the most exciting scene and at the same time the most disappointing scene of the movie, was the Huge Cliffhanger at the end. It got me all excited for the third movie while disappointed the movie was over. I seriously recommend watching The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug! Stunning visuals, Great story, Great Acting, Great action. I would rate this movie a solid 8.8! Last but not least, the appearance of Sauron! it was really surprising! I didn't expect the evil black fog to be Sauron. He never once moved in any of the LOTR movies at least to my knowledge he didn't, so seeing the evil black fog that moves around from place to place was actually Sauron was pretty surprising.

Ok thanks for reading! please stay tuned for more on NEET TALK!
