What have WE done?

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2014)

Major spoiler At the end of the film Bilbo looks into the camera and says "What have we done?" Never a truer word has been spoken by a fictitious character about the film he is starring in. This is NOT The Hobbit. The second movie (and I thought it was bad enough when I thought there were only two films) is Peter Jackson's attempt at writing Tolkien and it fails miserably. Furthermore, some reviewers have mentioned Smaug as if he single handedly saves the movie. He does not. Instead I sat there wondering why he hadn't burnt the burglar and the dwarfs instead of talking to them on and on, obviously to stretch the movie out. The biggest mystery now is how will Mr Jackson come up with enough plot for another movie? Maybe Smaug will do a lot more talking?
