Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) by Braeden — 19 Dec 2013

Comparing to disappointing first part, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is much better movie. It has better pacing, more meaningful action scenes, more character development and it was entertaining from start to finish.

Only time I was starting to feel bored was the final action scene which is a bit over the top. The extra elements (compared to book) didn't really bother me, since getting three 3 hour movies using only 300 page children's book is impossible to start with.
