Exciting Film

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2016)

This 2nd Hobbit film is an exciting continuation of the first Hobbit film - lots of action to go with the fantasy and adventure in this installment. I loved it! After Gandalf leaves them behind for another quest, Bilbo, Thorin and the rest of the Dwarfs end up coming face to face with the wood-elves king Thranduil, his son Legolas and Tauriel - after escaping the clutches of king Thranduil, Bilbo and the dwarfs meet a bargeman called Bard who smuggles them into Laketown - some scuffing goes and and they finally reach their destination: The Lonely Mountain. Meanwhile, Gandalf goes to Dol Guldur - Sauron's keep in Mirkwood to find out if the enemy (Sauron) has indeed come back to take over Middle Earth. Gandalf is held captive there and watches helplessly as the orcs descend on Lake Town at the foot of the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo tries to gain the Arkenstone from the dragon Smaug but awakens him... the dwarfs and Bilbo now have their hands full and the film ends with Smaug the dragon heading to Laketown for revenge.
