Loved it! You have to go and see it!

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2013)

First of all I'd like to say that I'm a massive Tolkien fan and I love his books and I've read them several times and I'm actually one of those people who see a movie and a book as two separate things. I never actually understood why AUJ got so much hate, it really is impossible to make a movie exactly like the book. Why aren't anyone of you purists hating on the dwarfs for not having a blue beard for example? (And it doesn't make you a 'better' or 'bigger' Tolkien fan for hating on the movies in my opinion).
'The Desolation of Smaug' was so amazing, I can't even choose what was my favourite part/thing about the movie, that's how good it was. I loved everything about it! There was a lot of action, the cast was spectacular, Beorn, Smaug and Bard was just what I imagined them to be, Tauriel wasn't annoying (I actually liked her!), the CGI was well done and Martin Freeman was amazing as always. And the fact that they're making three movies of one book doesn't bother me at all.
I decided to go and see it in HFR again cause I saw AUJ in it last year and I really liked it. I don't know about the rest of you but I really feel like I'm in middle-earth while watching it in HFR. The image is so sharp, the colours are beautiful and I loved the way Peter shot the barrel scene. I loved how the camera went underwater a couple of times, it really felt like I was there in a barrel with the rest of the dwarfs.
I'm going to go and see it again before it leaves the cinema and I'm also going to pre-order the DVD. Can't wait for the last part of the trilogy, It's going to be epic!
