Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) by Ganoncrotch — 23 Dec 2013

You must turn off your brain for massive portions of this film if it is to be enjoyed as it is intended. Smaugs breath is both hot enough to burn rocks and wood out of the way but does not ever seem to have had any impact on all the gold in his lair... even as his flames roll over the gold to burn our crew of heroes it doesn't so much as melt a coin.

The river scene with the worst henchmen orcs in the galaxy who've only ever trained at shooting barrels is mildly unbelievable until the portion where the fat Dwarve leaves the water in the barrel, this will shatter anyone's ability to suspend disbelief.

Also the scene where the would be king rides on a tiny sheet of iron down a molten stream of gold running from the forge... yes, I think he would at least be complaining as his skin melted to it never mind the radiating heat would have burned off all his Hair and melted his skin.

Good movie tho, and you have to remember this is a Movie being made of the Story how Bilbo wants to have it remembered, them embellishing a little on how many people they killed or how far certain falls were is understandable as he is a small hobbit who likes to talk big of everything he does.
