Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) by Iffyguy — 17 Dec 2013
Peter Jackson did it again. Effortlessly blending action, drama, comedy, and nerd references, we are plunged into Middle-Earth yet again. With great CGI, memorable characters, and fun storytelling, he creates another surefire hit. He nailed what the book did, which is makes you forget that there's a FREAKING DRAGON at the end, and instead focus on the danger at hand, whether it be spiders or orcs. Then, digging into the several hundred pages of appendices at the end of LOTR, he expands on the Necromancer, who is revealed to be Sauron. All in all, a great setup for the sure-to-please finale of the trilogy. And that cliffhanger!
P.S. Peter Jackson's cameo is hilarious.
