Nothing like it

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2013)

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, is the 2nd part of The Hobbit, which is written by one of the most well known and talented authors of all time, J.R.R Tolkien, and is directed by Peter Jackson (who i personally think as one in a million, because of his incredible originality with films and special effects).
I just got out of the cinema and The Hobbit (2) is still paying on my mind. The movie was such a marvellous MASTERPIECE that i can't really find words to describe how absolutely outstanding it was.
From the beginning we have a little interesting flashback of the past, and then it goes straight into amazing action. There is NOT A DULL MOMENT throughout the movie. I strongly recommend you don't drink a lot in the cinema because you would have to go and pee a lot ( like i did), but there will not be time as something epic will keep on happening. I felt sorry for the dude sitting next to me, he kept on having to let me through.
Another thing i want to mention are the special effects. Me, being the critic that i am, constantly kept on carefully looking for movie mistakes. I found none. You'd think with all the special effects there would be quite a lot, huh? Well, i didn't see ANY. There was so much detail and i was literally sitting in the cinema overwhelmed and astounded by it all, and finding it impossible to believe how talented the crew AND actors were. Just unbelievable.
The cinematographer did a fantastic job on keeping the camera straight, and giving us different angles to see things from.
In truth, i feel like this movie is FLAWLESS. I can't remember myself enjoying a movie this much since Avatar and Rapunzel hit the screens, much less one that's nearly 3 hrs long.
The characters in the film are fabulous as well. They are one of the things i love the most. Their personalities are very different and unique. I CARED about them all, and it felt at times as if i KNEW them. I wanted to be there with them on that adventure. Because, and if, you care for them, the movie will be much emotional for you, like it was for me.
My emotions were flying all over the place. One minute i'm laughing, then i'm at the verge of a panic attack, next i'm rooting the characters on, swooning over someone or wanting to slap a character across the face (i'm talking about you Thorin), and lastly i'm at the verge of tears. For a movie to tug at my heart strings like this is a miracle in its self, and it really proves that The Hobbit (2) is an extraordinary film that cannot be missed.
The Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug is a movie i recommend to all Fantasy and adventure lovers, and to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit: An Epic Adventure (1) fans. You will not be left disappointed. There was so much stuff going on. The majority of the time i was literally at the edge of my seat, holding my hand against my mouth to not squeal in either excitement or shock, and biting the edge of my popcorn box. TWISTS AND TURNS AROUND EVERY CORNER that had me hooked and holding on for the ride. I am DYING to see the next one after that cliffhanger at the end, and i bet you i'll be the first to buy the tickets, even if i have to wake up at 6 am or stay up till 4 at night. WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! That's an order.
