Freeman in whiteface rocks

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2012)

who would have thought that Morgan Freeman would be so convincing in whiteface? He was great and looked so tiny(apart from his massive cauliflower ear), against the super sized sets, particularly loved the giant Roc, it was my highlight, especially when it went for Elrond's eyes. Jenna Jamieson was superb as a haughty elf, the romance between her and Smaug, or Smaugy as she referred to him in cosy moments, was EPIC!!! Sandra Bullock as Gandalf was not so good, she over emoted and her French accent was no substitute for Mordorese.Can't wait for the sequel-A Wee Person's Reverie on Smoke -it's going to be a corker, although I think 2022 for a release date is a bit steep.
