Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) by Brian Gibson for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) — 27 Dec 2013
A trilogy sinks under the middle-weight of its sheer desolation, becoming baggy, boggy, saggy and smaugy. Scenes aren't just predictable but chiselled in triplicate--with stony dialogue, soaring muzak and restless, blatant visuals.
A slogging quest-opera.
