Great Contiuation from the 1st movie...

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2014)

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug carries on after our crew of Dwarfs and Bilbo are picked up by the Eagles. While the way the group meet Beorn isn't exactly like the it is in the book, it was interesting and keeps the continuity from the first film. I do like how they revealed the true identity of the Necromancer, and the addition of Legolas to the cast although he is never mentioned in the book. He is the only one that could have been around when this story played out, and of course is the son of the Elven king. Peter Jackson is doing a great job with the Hobbit Trilogy just as he did with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I can't wait to see the extended additions of these films to see the book better incorporated into the Movie. I highly recommend this Movie to all fans of Middle Earth.
