This might be my favorite movie ever!

One word to describe The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug...
Holy-sh*t-this-movie-f*cking-rocks!
I don't know another way to put it. Peter Jackson created a better if not just-as-good sequel to An Unexpected Journey. This is easily my favorite movie of the year, sorry Pacific Rim and Man of Steel.
Martin Freeman is the visual definition of Bilbo. His sarcasm, his cleverness, his cautiousness, his walk, his talk, it fits Bilbo's description flawlessly. Ian McKellan is always great as Gandalf, and his 5th appearance is no exception. The rest of the bunch does a fantastic job supporting and carrying on in the ever-so-slightly parts that tend to drag.
The action is dynamic and captivating, and the suspense is easily amplified from most films, which is led by one of the biggest yet satisfying cliffhangers in a film I have ever seen.
However, if I am to review Hobbit 2...I need to review the stand-alone title-bound character that kicks the bad-assitude level to 11:
Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug the Magnificent Dragon.
Holy. Sh*t.
Smaug just fills the screen with sheer beauty. The way he slithers in the gold, the way his facial expressions curl as he speaks, and his size in general made me need a new pair of pants! His fight scene is pure awesomeness, and the end, when he is briefly encased in a body of gold, it may have been the most beautiful creature scene I have seen since I first saw Godzilla in action!
Peter Jackson has created, once again for the 5th time, a remarkable experience of Middle Earth. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug is...just reminiscing of every scene is enough for me to say it.
The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug is my favorite movie ever.
11/10, if you leave the theater disappointed and annoyed, you probably saw a different movie, because there is just no way you will not leave satisfied...unless you hate cliffhangers-but that only adds to how much you will want to see how Peter Jackson closes out the Hobbit Franchise.
F*CKING SEE THIS MOVIE!
